Find yourself

as the night descends
and the clouds are upon us
we see a thousand souls ascend
into the night they go


as i blow the smoke from my lungs
i see it dissapear into to the darkness
killed me a second at a time
i see the thousand souls scream back at me
they whisper loud as sin


you see the light began to fade
the red of the sky is luring you in
and you ask for an angel
all you get is me
is it a sign from above
or just your bad luck


you erase the memories of your past
and hope to god these dreams will go
and in the end your life is grey
not dark nor light


your struggle brings you to end of the road
the remoteness of it all seems never ending
you fall back down from where you were
you dont know where you were
but you will dream of it again and again


the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end
the number 7 doesnt seem so lucky now
you find fear in the back of your mind
you try to block it out but you just dont know
then the light begins to return and
you find yourself again


so dont think for a minute
that your safe inside yourself
theres no map or direction no signposts for this road
it seems ever lasting but your not the one in the know


reflections in the end of the empty bottle
seem to cloud your judgement more so than before
could it be the night and the lack of things that you can see
or is it the things you can see, that bring you back to fright
shards of an empty glass carress your bleeding feet
as you walk and run and try to find
what are you looking for, inside yourself


theres not much more to say
but you will find yourself wondering and dreaming of another time
moonlight seems confusing to you right now
and then you remember what it was you were looking for
and peace begins to fall upon you
like the clouds and the dark and the pain


so take the glass from your feet and the light from your eyes
when all is dark and the pain is gone
find yourself alone and screaming
take yourself away from it all and see yourself
in another light for just one second
look at yourself from the other side and imagine
what would it be like


being different seems the same
and familiarity within this place is helping you
the light inside you begins to burn
and fire begins to rise
find your peace
in comprimise
