lyrics

A state of failing feelings
No decisions to be made
No somber thoughts at all
A numbing ease instead

Reflections of the past surrounding
Floating through the afterlife
Looking in an empty mirror
Slipping through a stream of light

Sleeping wide awake
Beyond expressiveness
No hope, no fear
Infinite emptiness

Struck by a ray of light
Intense feeling of grace
Empty faces staring
Caught in an endless space

I am the one, my soul still lingers on
The fire is gone, I’m just a shell alone
Breaking these chains which once held me in place
I chose to leave to look for better ways

The will to leave has turned to ash
Lady Lazarus failed to be complete
Feels like I’m caught between day and night
I’ve been exempt from my life’s speed

Spinning in circles once again
Like a black hole is consuming all I am
An endless momentum crumbling space and time

The questions in my mind will stay
All that mattered wiped away
I’m left behind and still alone
A stranger coming home

Blackness is darkening my state
The walls are getting closer now
I'm running out of time again
The pain of salvation hurts somehow

My fate until the end of time
Became the nightmare that I am
At last it’s me who wants to be untied

I am the one, my soul still lingers on
The fire is gone, I’m just a shell alone
Breaking these chains which once held me in place
I chose to leave to look for better ways

The questions in my mind will stay
all that mattered wiped away
I'm left behind and still alone
A stranger coming home
