What you are, and why today All that’s tragic, feels the same There’s no feeling, there’s no pain, cold, rain
Cannot stay away from you, light Cause you are my cyanide If I can’t feel, why is there pain? Give me my rest, cold, rain…
From the darkness, into the light Face the demons, left and right If there’s no wrong, can there be right? Only a thin, fading line
Now everything here seems so wonderful, And different, and still In the boot of a soldier a tiny red pill Has a purpose to fill I am wasting my time, writing lines, That will never see your light Now my Dark Soul Distillery fills all the bottles, The essence of life Wow!
I am running my fingers through pages of… insanity, hair And I try to stay drunk as I walk back and forth on the flickering line I have lost all the ones and the twos, I’d take fifteen, if I can choose I can pass out and forget today Or then go back in time, face the pain
Dream of me and let me go I am still my own worst foe Try to smile and face the light My starry sky, burning night
When embers dance high in the air My demons die without an heir The sun I touch and do my share Why would you care, why would you care…
I answer my own silent query, unwillingly, with a tear As I see the two ravens of yesterday Fly pass my window in fear I should take down these curtains today, They just seem to make things gray I will clean all the stains but I don’t want to know How that window got smeared Wow!
A new morning dawns, I am paralyzed, I lie awake, dead As that same stupid melody plays in my head, Not again, not again… I’m a ghost of that once scared young man Wake me up, please, if you can It’s a nightmare, it’s sick, I confess But I am needed, I clean up the mess
What you are, and why today, All that’s tragic, feels the same There’s no feeling, there’s no pain, cold, rain
From the darkness, into the light Face the demons, left and right If there’s no wrong, can there be right? Only a thin, fading line
Dream of me and let me go I am still my own worst foe Try to smile and face the light My starry sky, burning night
When embers dance high in the air My demons die without an heir Maybe one day I'll make amends And this song will make some sense
