Part 1 – Down

A cold, cold absence
A hollowed-out feeling
With wounds that never show
Never bleed, never healing

I feel the tears are brimming
Like water in a glass
Unsteady and too full
The shutters close and no light will pass

I wake into a nightmare, I cannot see the end
I live between the corridors, with silence as my friend
Don’t you bother talking, there’s no one home to listen
Not frightened of dying, I’m more afraid of living

Eyes speak a thousand words
I live my life in minor chords
Deep is thе darkness before thе dawn

Eyes speak a thousand words
Moving slowly, thinking flawed
Can’t find the strength to carry on

A grey, grey winter
Pervades my soul
No shelter from this bitter storm
Can’t defy, can’t control
I live amongst the shadows
I’m walking through the ruins

No will to keep on fighting
Unsure of what I am doing

Another fucking nightmare I cannot comprehend
Trapped between the corridors that never seem to end

Eyes speak a thousand words
I live my life in minor chords
Deep is the darkness before the dawn

(Languishing as time melts)
Eyes speak a thousand words
Moving slowly thinking flawed
Can’t find the strength to carry on

It’s a dance shrouded with duality
But in complete isolation
A barren, lifeless ballet
That I’ve filled with desperation

My eyes won’t seem to open
Feel them burning from the inside
My bed's become my prison
I can’t face the world, I need to run and hide
Padded cell, private hell
Why am I so distorted?
In my head it’s all breaking down
I feel so deserted

Eyes speak a thousand words
I live my life in minor chords
Deep is the darkness before the dawn

(Languishing as time melts)
Eyes speak a thousand words
Moving slowly thinking flawed
Can’t find the strength to carry on


Part 2 – Up

Daylight streams through
Need to realign, me and you
On board, upright
I can look at things with insight

Clouds gone, full sun
Shed the heavy dark and move on
Light steps, stand straight
Break out and try to lose weight
Feels like I’m through the worst of this
Moving back towards the things I’ve missed
And every day brings me further on
Sorrow’s twilight, joy’s dawn

Feeling almost normal, glad to be with you
Thinking on the level, working better, too
Sad I put you through it, sad I made you cry
Happy that I’m through it, and out the other side

Feeling almost normal, glad to be with you
Thinking on the level, working better, too
Sad I put you through it, sad I made you cry...

Feel deep… fly high
Black sheep… testify
Double speed… lightning quick
Intercede… I’m frantic

Feels like I’m through the worst of this
Moving back towards the things I’ve missed
And every day brings me further on
Sorrow’s twilight, joy’s dawn

Feeling almost normal, glad to be with you
Thinking on the level, working better, too
Sad I put you through it, sad I made you cry
Happy that I’m through it, and out the other side

Feeling almost normal, glad to be with you
Thinking on the level, working better, too
Sad, I put you through it, sad I made you cry...


Part 3 – Frenzy

Escape, I’m out, there’s no going back
Distract, react, I step through the crack
I’m no longer tethered by muscle and bone
Inhabit a universe all on its own

Animation, creation, with no deviation
Genius, meaningless lacking relation
Yearning cavity defying gravity
Gunning and running, approaching depravity

So much better than anyone else
Smarter, faster, art itself
Over the edge in one mighty bound
Into the night away from the ground

I’m flying!
