The Storm Within

10 years from now I’ll watch from far away 10 years from now I might have found my way 10 years from now I’ll see with different eyes Better, wiser and not as blind Always looked for acceptance And understood what it’s like to be different Did not believe in transcendence This life gave birth to independence Does no one see it like I do? Does no one know that we’re just passing through? No one feel what I do? We’re passing through... These silhouettes remain They’re not the sum of me No longer represent who I used to be They just remind me of where I used to wake How I used to think, how I used to ache 10 years from now I’ll watch from far away 10 years from now I sure have found my way 10 years from now I’ll see with different eyes Better, wiser and not as blind Does no one see it like I do? Does no one know that we’re just passing through? No one feel what I do? That we’re just passing through... Does no one see it like I do? Does no one know that we’re just passing through? No one feel what I do? That we’re just passing through... I always looked for acceptance I understand what it’s like to be different Did no believe in transcendence Just independence Does no one see it like I do? Does no one know that we’re just passing through? No one feel what I do? That we’re just passing through... Does no one see it like I do? Does no one know that we’re just passing through? No one feel what I do? We’re passing through...

I was once like you Used to be like you Embraced the same horizons And shared the setting suns I was once like you But the surroundings are different Now the darkness is different I used to be like you But if I can’t erase you If I can’t face this alone I might be there one day Someday, someday With arms wide open Someday, someday With arms wide open The universe is now a darkened room And even still nothing’s starlit I’m here alone, all is this void It’s devastating I feel like I have lost my armor I feel like I have lost my armor... oh Someday, someday With arms wide open Someday, someday With arms wide open! With my arms wide open My arms wide open So I can’t erase you Can’t do this alone I’ll be there that day Someday, someday With my arms wide open Someday, someday With my arms wide open Someday, someday Someday, someday

This is not for me I can’t persist or breathe that which poisons me My angels are falling and I lie bare Felled by the arrows of a different calling Urging me to look, look the other way Faith’s amiss and I’m astray This was never meant for me so why would I stay? The winter once brought me this sorrow Since everything seems to hurt Just let me go... Got doubts enough to fill an emptiness, a void I’m on the other side of life where I don’t belong I threw myself in heaven’s arms Wore my open wounds to see You swore yourself to me So join my hands in search of truth Please take the giant leap with me This world is not for me So why should I stay? The winter once brought me this sorrow Since everything seems to hurt Just let me go... I used to be stronger I used to want this more Is everything meant to hurt? It won’t leave me alone Layer after layer I need to keep this hidden Brick after brick buries it deeper and deeper Leave it in the cold to be forgotten to grow old (The winter once brought me this sorrow) (Since everything seems to hurt) (Just let me go...) I used to be stronger, stronger I used to want this more Is everything meant to hurt? Just let me go...

I’ll cross the dark side of the moon I’ll do the same with the rings of Saturn I’ll stay awake through the Martian winter But in the end what does it matter? And I’ll look to the sky for any signs to justify Or offer reasons why There can’t be a you and I I am watching from the outside Dying to be on the inside It is cold here it is freezing While you’re asking the impossible Because it is impossible to be this alone To be this alone I cross the dark side of the moon And cross my heart in hope for this madness To end very soon before I end in a sea of sadness And I’m watching from the outside Dying to be on the inside And I’m watching from the outside When I’m lying to be on the inside And you’re asking the impossible If you want me this alone... Alone... Alone... Alone...

This is for us I’m fear I’m flight In darkened waters we must unite My allied ocean My queen, my death A sun explosion, it manifests When darkness is falling Want the world to burn The fire to spread and there’s nowhere to turn And the end of the rope I can’t hold on Want this world to burn Want this world to burn This emptiness not transient And it will never stop it’s never silent My allied ocean My life escape A sun I saw but never felt When darkness is falling Want the world to burn The fire to spread and there’s nowhere to turn At the end of the rope I can’t hold on Want this world to burn Want this world to burn (????) When darkness is falling Want the world to burn The fire to spread and there’s nowhere to turn And the end of the rope I can’t hold on Want this world to burn Want this world to burn

I’m caught here in this vacuum I’m falling from a sunless sky I’ll rid myself of value And leave this emptiness behind So I run before it is over I run but still never leave it seems Run but not getting closer I run to get away from this dream I have been watching you from a distance I have been monitoring you from cloudless skies I’ve been calling your name just to ease your resistance But nothing seems to shift your darkened sky Run before it is over Run but still never leave it seems Run but not getting closer I run to get away from this dream I’m in orbit, stars exploding when I call your name Here’s too dark and lonely You’re my compass, my only reason to stay sane Run before it is over Run but still never leave it seems Run but not getting closer Run to get away from this dream Run but not getting closer Run but still never leave it seems Run...

I dwell in your shadow I dare not wake what’s asleep I grew in your shadow I never defied the resting beast But when you dress in your black wings again When you turn your back on me again Still not denying you, still not denying you I’ve tried a thousand times and bowed a thousand more And I fought through eternal nights to keep us from falling It’s written across the sky It offers clarity It is not you it’s only me who keeps us from falling down I always felt a burden It was always hard Always felt uncertain You never meant my harm Raise that head again Wake that will again Solution could be tranquil and absolution so close Don’t fear to turn inside, leave the past behind Cross the inner lines, change your ways to end Where are your reasons to extend the lonely monarch’s war again? I’ve tried a thousand times and bowed a thousand more I fought through eternal nights to keep us from falling It’s written across the sky It offers clarity It is not you it’s only me who keeps us from falling I’ve tried a thousand times and bowed a thousand more I fought through eternal nights to keep us from falling It’s written across the sky It’s clear for all to see That it’s not you it’s only me who keeps us from falling down Who keeps us from falling Who keeps us from falling down

Gone She’s gone How am I supposed to make it alone? Don’t leave this Don’t leave me I’ll disconnect Before it takes me over I undress and fall Wish to leave it all I disconnect Before it takes me over... Is this, if this is all I have now Then I, then I need to disconnect now I never meant to be indifferent Never wanted you to feel irrelevant You were You were never insignificant So don’t leave this Don’t leave me I’ll disconnect Before it takes me over I undress and fall Wish to leave it all I disconnect Before it takes me over... Before it takes me over... Don’t leave this Don’t leave me (I’ll disconnect) I’ll disconnect Before it takes me over I undress and fall Wish to leave it all I disconnect Before it takes me over...

It is dark, I can hear the crows And the autumn leaves falls and falls Trees asleep still stretch for the sky They belong to me They stretch for us, you see If all were just dreams we’d be safe But we’re all just pale prints of passed days The consequence and the cause The reasons of why we did lose It is late when I watch the sun hide Hide behind the dark mountainside Taste the salt that lands on my skin There’s not a sound, just the storm within You tore down my walls You stole my armor You’re under my skin, you conquer you win My back’s in the dust, you triumph you grin And I know I’d heal better If I’d surrender to feel And we wrote life as it passed As nothing else could matter at all You made the sun rise The stars fall and darkness smaller We walked many days in sorrow But also in daylight’s grace We gave worth to that which was hollow Sometimes just two lost souls... And we wrote life as it passed Much too certain that it’d last forever We were beyond the difficult

Finished with my woman ‘cause she couldn’t help me with my mind People think I am insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify Can you help me? Occupy my brain, oh yeah Can you help me? Occupy my brain, oh yeah I need someone to show me the things in life that I can’t find I can’t see the things that make true happiness – I must be blind Make a joke, and I will sigh and you will laugh, and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal Can you help me? Occupy my brain, oh yeah Can you help me? Occupy my brain... And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but it’s too late Can you help me? Occupy my brain, oh So can you help me? Occupy my brain, oh yeah So can you help me? Occupy my brain, oh yeah
