I cannot see Even though it's there in front of me Like a beggar cold, and crawling on my knees Searching, for something so close yet still out of reach Is this all I'm destined to be I've been living in the shadow now for far too long The senses burn at the caress, like it doesn't belong It's one thing to dwell in silence, or to feel nothing at all Then you cannot hear the rush, or feel the pain at the end of the fall I fought to lift the veil and move beyond the door Just when I thought there was, maybe something more A hope that I could at last restore my sight The cloak is gone, my freedom won, but I found a blinding light I can feel the light burn as the night was cold And I struggle the same. As the life I lived before Though the light guided me I still lost the way And I struggle the same just to find the path back to the day With every fall I lose the will Another chain that binds I can't go on like this Another road that winds I should have known that the struggle never really ends The road is long; don't try to see what's beyond the bend Our wars are won, at the cost of another defeat You'll have to crawl to get back on your feet I thought I was stronger than this, that I had more to give That the light of the day would show me the way to go Never wanted to turn my back to it all This is my struggle that ill have to bear Before I am too far gone I can feel the light burn as the night was cold And I struggle the same. As the life I lived before Though the light guided me I still lost the way And I struggle the same just to find the path back to the day
