| One hand casts the shadow
|
| One hand holds the flame
|
| I can hear it coming
|
| But I don’t hold fear and pain
|
| An echo in the distance
|
| That familiar empty space
|
| Turning from the light I step into my shame
|
| So I believe, somehow, if I step closer
|
| To the fear and doubt that I’ll grow further
|
| I will not remain in light
|
| And I’ll grow scars that elevate the mind
|
| Now I believe I know I’ve grown conscious
|
| In the space, but I could reset further
|
| I cannot remain in light
|
| So I go far enough away and find
|
| I feel the stillness coming
|
| I am but form in place
|
| The world I know’s soon ending
|
| This is the only way
|
| And still I wait to illuminate my fate
|
| The road’s descending on me
|
| To spare me from the pain
|
| Will you pray for me
|
| As I fight through the rain
|
| I can hardly see what I can become
|
| I don’t wanna die
|
| I don’t wanna wonder
|
| I’ve been cast aside as I hope for something
|
| So I believe somehow if I step closer
|
| To the fear and doubt that I’ll grow further
|
| I will not remain alight
|
| And I’ll grow scars that elevate the mind
|
| Now I believe I know I’ve grown conscious
|
| In the space but I could reset further
|
| I cannot remain in light
|
| So I go far enough away and find
|
| One hand held toward the daylight
|
| One hand traces a line
|
| Both hands bleed I’m alight
|
| My shape cast is my guide
|
| I’m breathing but inside
|
| I’m chained to my darkness
|
| I know this is my fight
|
| I’ll change I will grow
|
| I will make myself one life
|
| I’ll become the daylight
|
| So I believe somehow if I step closer
|
| To the fear and doubt that I’ll grow further
|
| I will not remain alight
|
| And I’ll grow scars that elevate the mind
|
| Now I believe I know I’ve grown conscious
|
| In the space but I could reset further
|
| I cannot remain in light
|
| So I go far enough away
|
| I don’t wanna die
|
| I don’t wanna die
|
| I’ve been lost here
|
| I will free the slave
|
| I’ve been a follower
|
| Who could lead but chose to be here now
|
| I will shout my name
|
| And find peace with my soul in hand
|
| I will scream here
|
| For the hope I gain
|
| My distress will bear
|
| From my will the blade
|
| I will reach out
|
| I will hold that reign
|
| And carve my name in stone and die
|
| I really wanna believe, somehow if I step closer
|
| To the fear and doubt that I’ll grow further
|
| I will not remain in light
|
| And I’ll grow scars that elevate the mind
|
| Now I believe, I know, I’ve grown conscious
|
| In this space, but I can reset further
|
| I cannot remain in light
|
| So I go far enough away, and I… |
