Critical Error: The Wilderness

The Wilderness by Critical Error. Album: Critical Error. THE WILDERNESS We used to be so close We had no need to touch each other We used to use our eyes and never say a word We used to give each other Everything that we needed We used to use our eyes and never say a word Thought love would last forever I thought we'd be together I never thought I'd have to say I'd rather die in the wilderness than to have you back again I'd rather die in an empty room than to see your face again I used to laugh at your sweet caress now it only brings me pain I'd rather die in the wilderness I'd rather die in the burning rain, the burning rain In the wilderness, the burning rain We used to be so strong, we fought the world together We stood there side by side against an angry world We used to give each other everything that we needed We used to use our eyes and never say a word Thought love would last forever I thought we'd be together I never thought I'd have to say I'd rather die in the wilderness than to have you back again I'd rather die in an empty room than to see your face again I used to laugh at your sweet caress now it only brings me pain I'd rather die in the wilderness I'd rather die in the burning rain, the burning rain In the wilderness, the burning rain Words and music by Steve Mavin.
