(Eldredge/Arkana)

you sacrificed the life i gave
a troubled soul i could not save
i offered hope, i would have died
i offered love and was denied
the happiness that we pretend
a darkened path that has no end
all the things you said to me
only things that cannot be

distance by design
all that can't be mine

has this all been just a game?
tell me, do you feel the same?
am i so blind i cannot see
the silent ways you torture me?
where do we go? what will you choose
to save the love we stand to lose?
all the things you said to me
only fragments of a dream

distance by design (demo)

(Eldredge/Arkana)

rise
we fit like hand in glove
like casualties of love
the embers burning bright
don't you see

soar
we feel like we can fly
like doves before they die
the cynical ignite
don't believe

burn my eyes in the searing sun
i'm like a black stain left on your wedding dress
and when you tell yourself that the war is won
i'm gonna drag you down with my sweet caress

fall
the hour's getting late
this bough is sure to break
the lie has come to light
don't deceive


Track appears on the Ric Laciak/RAS DVA Tribute album, "Digital Recovery I II"
