lyrics

In the shadows of a past life
All the mysteries in my heart tell me to find you in the dark
But all these shadows blur my visions
And I'm fading in the dark
I cannot see you as I feel you in my heart

Somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of my brain
Buried in the cracks where I am terminally insane
Where all sense of the center is supposed to be maintained
And yet chaos reigns
Fills me, drains me
And I'm not even me, I'm just a particle of energy
Something less than sensory, only just a memory
Creator and creation existing in synergy
The forces of nature, in the past and in the future
And us humans just minutia
Whether we win or lose
We are nothing more than atoms with a pointless point of view

I can't see you, I can't see you
In the dark, in the dark
And I'm alone now
I can't see you, I can't see you
In the dark, in the dark
And I'm alone now

What if all we see is a figment of imagination?
Accidental vibrations - a blooper of creation
And we're all just frustratingly reaching toward stagnation
But this stimulation claims us
And we have to see, have to be
Have to believe in something greater than damnation
Or simplistic formations
We want to be eternal, yet we hate to just be
Carnal burning dust and ashes
Gases in the past and in the future huge masses
No! We want a sense of hopefulness and purpose in this world
That's why sometimes we pray to ourselves and hope somebody heard
Believing in the word and basking in the brilliance
Of our own special existence (even if it's just coincidence)
Either we ask for deliverance
Or even if we try not to be affected by this influence
We want our impending doom to have some significance
To make some sense
Not simply to be floating in a never-ending room

Can you hear me, can you feel me
In the dark in the dark
You're not alone now
Can you hear me, can you feel me
In the dark, in the dark
You're not alone now (you're not alone)

Now I'm drifting in a wasteland, deep in space
And I'm faceless and hating every moment of this race
To the top of the mountain, to the end of the line
We don't need to win to be a part of the Divine
We can shine every day in the words that we say
In the music we play and the gifts we give away
We're all going up in flames in a moment anyway
Burning up inside 'til the end of our days
Try not to hide, you can't escape it so embrace it
Believe in the grace that you exhibit and face your fears
What else are we here for but to live as many years as our love is long?
So sing your song and dance your dance
Find passion and compassion in beauty and romance
Because we might not have another chance
To be a piece of the puzzle
This is our mission: to envision a collision of existence and cognition
No division, just a decision to let go and be One Heart
One Soul under the Sun, and part of the Earth
Life to Death - until Birth
When we can rise out of the ashes and start singing and screaming
So we can love and be loved
And never stop dreaming

I can't see you, but I can hear you
In the dark, in the dark
I'm not alone now
I can't see you, but I can feel you
In the dark, in the dark
I'm not alone now

Yes, I can hear you and I can feel you
In the dark, in the dark
We're not alone now
In these shadows all my visions
Come to life within a spark
Of all the voices of these lovers in the dark
