Contemplative lyrics that explore one's inner meditations.
Within was first released by Infused in 2004 album on the album Beyond Cohesion. Composed by Rod Skelley, it is probably his favorite song on the album.
While writing the song, he fell asleep and reimagined the song with piano parts instead of guitar. Years later, Infused has now released the dreamlike reimagining of this song. Within (Empty) also restores the song to its original lyrics with three verses and outro. An instrumental version of this song also released called Within (Empty and Quiet).
Lyrics. 1. Within my eyes there is nothingness
Beneath my skin there is nothing
At the heart of it all it's only emptiness
Behind the glitter it's only empty
2. Across the sky there is a loneliness In the flight of a bird there is a loneliness
When we cry we are all alone In the end we are all alone
Chorus: Why must we go on another day
Why must we stay
Why do those stars not shine today
Why do feelings get in the way
3. Within your eyes there is loveliness
Within my desire there is loveliness
In our loveliness there is hopelessness
In our hopelessness there is beauteousness
I am a memory I am rotting away.
