One hand casts the shadow
One hand holds the flame
I can hear it coming
But I don't hold fear and pain
An echo in the distance
That familiar empty space
Turning from the light I step into my shade
So I believe somehow
If I step closer to the fear and doubt
That I'll grow further
I will not remain in light
And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind
Now I believe
I know
I've grown conscious in this space
But I could reset further
I can not remain in light
So I go far enough away
And fight
I feel the stillness coming
I am but form in place
The world I know soon ending
This is the only way
And still I wait
To illuminate my fate
The ruins descend upon me
To spare me from the pain
Will you pray for me as I fight through the rain
I can hardly see but I'll carry on
I don't want to die
I don't want to wander
I've been cast aside
As I hope for the sun
So I believe somehow
If I step closer to the fear and doubt
That I'll grow further
I will not remain in light
And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind
Now I believe
I know
I've grown conscious in this space
But I could reset further
I can not remain in light
So I go far enough away
And fight
One hand held toward the daylight
One hand traces a line
Both hands bleed
I'm alight
My shade cast is my guide
I'm breathing but inside
I'm chained to my darkness
I know this is my fight
I'll change
I will grow
I will make myself want life
I'll become the daylight
I've awakened now
So I believe somehow
If I step closer to the fear and doubt
That I'll grow further
I will not remain in light
And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind
Now I believe
I know
I've grown conscious in this space
But I could reset further
I can not remain in light
So I go far enough away
I've been lost here
I've been free
The slave
I've been the follower
Who could lead but chose to be here now
I will shout my name and find peace with my soul in hand
I will scream here for the hope I gave
My distress bare from my will the blade
I'll reach out
I will hold that blade and carve my name in stone then I'll die.
I really want to believe somehow
If I step closer to the fear and doubt
That I'll grow further
I will not remain in light
And I'll grow scars that elevate the mind
Now I believe
I know
I've grown conscious in this space
But I could reset further
I can not remain in light
So I go far enough away
And fight
