Tim Briggs - Trying to Get a Message Through Lyrics

The streets are cold and all my nerves are spent
Don't know where the time or the money went
One-man shows and other crazy schemes
Without goodbye
You slid outside the dream
Those voices haunting you
They're trying to get a message through
I won't stay outside in this lonely place
And chip away at what I can't erase
I never noticed when you lost your way
As the music played
Blinding light across the stage
I never had a clue
You were trying to get a message through
The shadows here will disappear like falling rain
Lost in time and memory, what does remain
Is holding on to you
Trying to get a message through
As time goes by and those memories fade
And the edges tatter on the dreams you made
From a distant shore, voices in the night
Fading out of sight
No matter what you do
You'll always hear them calling you
Trying to get a message through
The shadows here will disappear like falling rain
Lost in time and memory, what does remain
Is holding on to you
I know you're not to blame
I know I promised to
But I could not follow you
So I'm trying to get a message through
