Tearing Away Lyrics

Here's my chance to think up
All the things I want to say
All the things that make me feel that I'm afraid

The clock is turning backwards
As my mind has gone astray
And the world before me simply peels away

Like a poor and broken child
I'm here among the wild
Thorns that cut me deep when I breathe in

I'm tearing away, from all of the pain
From all of the things that make me feel that I can't dream
I'm tearing away, from all of the pain
From all of the things that make me feel that I can't...

Here's my chance to think up
All the things I want to say
All the things that make me feel that I'm afraid

The clock is turning backwards
As my mind has gone astray
And the world before me simply peels away

Like a poor and broken child
I'm here among the wild
Thorns that cut me deep when I breathe in

I'm tearing away, from all of the pain
From all of the things that make me feel that I can't dream
I'm tearing away, from all of the pain
From all of the things that make me feel that I can't dream

I'm tearing away
I'm tearing away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Johnny, Jason and I recorded this on New Year’s Day out here at Nebulost. It’s a really special song to me. We also recorded 3009 together that night. I love having talented friends! :) -kimberly
