lyrics

Awaken my soul.

Each day I wake up underground to find I’m barricaded inside this tomb.
I crawl out of the hole I’ve dug where the sun is shining through.

And every day I head down to that bridge I built but never finished.
Incomplete it waits for me because I’m longing for an exit.

Do I have the strength?
To let the wind conduct me away like a symphony, and follow this road wherever it takes me.

With every step that I take I leave another piece of myself behind.
So how far can I go before there’s no trace left of me to find?

Pacing back and forth I decide I can no longer afford to stay.
Light a flame, set fire to this empty space where I’ve remained.

Burn the field, ‘til the smoke fills my eyes.
Burn the field, leave this place behind.

There is a man, always waiting for me across the river.
I drag myself through the rushing water to follow him further.
With every step, the deeper I sink. Everything goes black, I can barely breathe.
It's always the same man I see, but not yet the one I’ve grown to be.

I fully submerge as death cradles me.

Resurrect.
Born a new man.
Re-emerge.
I am no longer chasing a grave, and leaving behind a flawed reality spent waiting for change.

Do I have the strength?
To let the wind conduct me away like a symphony and follow this road wherever it takes me.

With every step that I take I leave another piece of myself behind.
So how far can I go before there’s no trace left of me to find?

Letting go of what surrounds me.
Above. Below.
Finally breaking free from my own mind.
Casting away all of these chains that bind.

One step out of the water, on the other side with the setting sun.
I see myself from where I came.
Turn my back and start to run.

Rise east. Set west.
Following towards the darkness.

If I let all the light fade, will I be able to find my way?

Can I find my way?
