The Esence of Silence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Something is wrong
My strength has gone
Thoughts are corrupting my mind
I can see
I perceive
This ain't me
Something so strong
My mood has swung
I can't get it out of my head
I believe
That my mind
Misleads me (we confuse)
Is it a doubt
You try to hide (tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside (we appear)
It's just a dreary (memory stuck in your mind)
Memory stuck in your mind
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe (the essence of silence)
Search for your essence
Find the silence within you (the essence is)
You're searching
And bursting
There seems to be no cure
When tension endures
Delusions corrupting my mind
I can see
I perceive
This ain't me
There seems to be no way
When light fades to grey
To get them all out of my head
I believe
That my mind
Misleads me (we confuse)
Is it a doubt
You try to hide (tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside (we appear)
It's just a dreary (memory stuck in your mind)
Memory stuck in your mind
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe (the essence of silence)
Search for your essence
Find the silence
Within you (the essence is)
Make a start
Explore your heart
When a persistent memory
Penetrates deep in your mind
Allow the silence to destroy
Your thoughts in every kind (we confuse)
Is it a doubt
You try to hide (tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside (we appear)
It's just a dreary (memory stuck in your mind)
Memory stuck in your mind
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe (the essence of silence)
Allow the silence
To wipe your thoughts away
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe (the essence of silence)
Search for your essence
Find the silence within you (the essence lies)
In silence
