Lyrics
The Second I Awake
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.
Well your eyes are out of my soul, cold and tired
Open like a door to a winter's night
Silver sky becomes a background that begins to grey
Won't find me falling the second I awake
I thought I was going backwards
Walking down the lane
Found a foggy street
Now I'm not the same
Through a maze of walls and fences
Nothing can be heard
Where a million images are spun to just one
My memories are twisted here as I stand
They hold no meaning for me now without a sound
I can hear the bells are ringing calmly in my ears
Cross the fields that stretch forever
