Lyrics Avalanche - Ben Draiman

Avalanche

Here I am again
In a place all too familiar
A place that I have been so many times before
My soul is tortured
By constant analyzations
In a world of frustrations
What is it they want me to be?
But I refuse to play their game of deceptions
To be sentenced to slavement to everyone’s perceptions
I was trying to be seen without having to pretend
But now I’ve been disillusioned and I find myself again in an avalanche
In an avalanche
In an avalanche
If only I could see all the lies ahead of me
A future so clear would help to ease my fears
But since I lost my faith in tangible reality
To only what my eyes can see
I’ve lost sight of who I’m supposed to be
A chain of events so intimately related
Each and every one of them so carefully contemplated
Perhaps I should listen to the advice of my friends
But such is not my fate and here I am again
In an avalanche
In an avalanche
In an avalanche
Coming now
In an avalanche
I can never cease to be the person that I am
But I just can’t seem to measure up to all of my demands
All my agony and sorrow may never find their compensation
In this world of absurdity in which truth is its vexation
When you feel the emptiness, the loneliness and despair
When it seems the world has turned on you but you lack the strength to care
Find the strength to rise again and return from the place you’ve been
And find the courage to believe again in that which can’t be seen
In an avalanche
In an avalanche
In an avalanche
In an avalanche
In an avalanche
