Hourgla** - Mists of Darkness lyrics

[THE MIST] Instrumental [WASHED AWAY] All alone in the silence of the morning Wake to find there's nothing there That's worth living for That's worth dying for Either way you don't care Loss of interest in the things that once drove you To a place where you could see There's things worth living for There's things worth dying for They're things that set you free You've fallen prey to the darkness all around you Felt it wash away all that you are And in the fallout you sense a new beginning But you can't find the will and don't have the heart And you feel you're falling And you know you're drowning And your chance is fading And your strength is failing Sorrow, washed away in anger Washed away in desperation all alone Sadness, washed away in waking Washed away in finding a way you can cope With the things you must face With the endless rat race With the trial of today With the things that they say You don't need them - you can find a better way Sleep the day away, it's the easy way Too much pain today, too much apathy When your feelings are desperate Your thoughts become dangerous When your thoughts put you in duress What's left for you is to bear it Written on your face is nothing but a trace Of where your pain is born Of why your mind is torn Swaying on the edge of a knife To the brink of insanity To the ruin of reality Your perception of your life Has warped what's going on What's here you think is gone Is there belief, is there relief When the nightmare has begun? Will your mind reach for the gun Or is there strength inside your soul? To give you back control Only you could know And you feel you're falling And you know you're drowning And your chance is fading And your faith is failing Sorrow, washed away in anger Washed away in desperation all alone Sadness, washed away in waking Washed away in finding a way you can cope With the things you must face With the endless rat race With the trial of today With the things that they say You don't need them - you can find a better way [SILENT SUFFERING] Step outside into a world with so many people Understand that life can be deceiving Live in hope that you can cope for another day Understand that giving is receiving They say, oh I can feel the waves roll in As time begins to slip right through my fingers The silent suffering's all around you It burns your soul as it surrounds you It leaves a hole when it has bound you It rides the waves in hope to drown you Step inside and see a world without any people Understand that this is not who you are Live in trust that life's not just fearing your future Understand that alone you've come this far They say, oh I can feel the waves roll in As time begins to slip right through my fingers The silent suffering's all around you It takes its place as it surrounds you It hides its face from those who found you It rides the waves in hope to drown you They say I want to reach another shore I understand there's so much more They know, inside their minds the battles rage While placed upon life's empty stage Find out why the suffering hides And why each breath is filled with need Presence of mind to reach inside And find out why old wounds still bleed They say, oh I can feel new life begin As hope has found a grip within my fingers The silent suffering's all around you It burns your soul as it surrounds you It takes its toll when it has bound you It rides the waves in hope to drown you Don't let it drown you
