Closer Look

Take a closer look, look in from the side
I'm lurking in the shadows
Lurking in this shadow

We're all getting older, wasting all our time
I'm running through these meadows
Running in this meadow

Strain a little harder, tell me what you hear
All I hear is nothing
All this time there's nothing

Am I getting smarter, learning how to bear
Wish that there was something
All I want is one thing

Break through all my anger, losing my emotion
Hating all these feelings
Tell me what I'm feeling

Keep away there's danger, in all this commotion
Evil here is lurking
Evil now is creeping
Near.

Laughing in the middle, crying on the side

I’m living in the shadows

Hide behind this shadow

 

Peaceful on the surface, deeper there is life

I’m looking out the window

Through this blackened window

 

Talk about redemption, starting new with life

All my words of wisdom

No one ever listened

 

Fill this empty darkness, fill it with your lies

Trying to find reason

Praying for a reason

 

Try to find the silence, drown the hopeless voices

I break as I surrender

Lose myself forever

 

I got what I have wished for, made my stupid choices

In ignorance I suffer

While my life is squandered

Here.
