Shadowlife

Seeing no one
Touching something
Fingers reaching out
Senses burning
All from learning
No ones sees
The colors in my mind

Silent darkness speaks my name -
Everything changes yet stays the same
Like darkness into day
I know what is to come
Long days without sun

Chorus
I feel
I feel

Slowly moving
Endless motion
Floating forward now
Soaring higher
Drifting nowhere
I felt that i was somewhere else

Total blindness still remains
Everyone changes - i stay the same
The hours slip away
I'll feel this pain no more
My future waits outside the door

Chorus
I feel - i feel (crystallized - piece of time)
I feel
The sun is shining over me
Warming my senses

I make a plea
I'm guilty of feeling
So why is it so hard to see

Chorus
I feel - i feel (crystallized - piece of time)
I feel - i feel
(blood stained eyes - open wide)
I feel

Liquid fused around my body
Swimming in the night's black water
Justifies a child's exsistance
Innocence abounds within us
But what does it matter

Watch my hand turn shades of gray
Feel my life's breath fade away
Soon i'll walk through gates of steel
To a place not yet revealed
But what does it matter

Hello death, hello death
Hello death -- how do you do?
I don't remember calling you

All i need is just a drink of water
Help me jesus -- try to ease my pain
All i need is just to drink your water
Hello mr. death please go away

Here i go into the earth
And here i'll wait until my birth
I will rise again someday
Tranquility will find a way
But what does it matter

Hello death, hello death
Hello death -- how do you do?
I don't remember calling you

All i need is just a drink of water
Help me jesus -- try to ease my pain
All i need is just to drink your water
Hello mr. death please go away

Darlin' -don't let me go
Until the last train rides
I wanna stay with you
When the morning comes
And it's time to rise
But i can't lift my head - baby let me die
Release the sorrow - deep within my eyes
Life's only borrowed

Chorus
Don't build your world with bitter regret
'cuz i still feel it's not over yet
What we've done we'll have to forget
Or all you'll reap is bitter regret

Wonderin' -how this came to pass
Why my future runs through the hourglass
Talk to me - 'cuz i can't lift my head
Anti-social suicide lyin' on my bed
Release the sorrow - deep within my eyes
Life's only borrowed

Chorus
'cuz i still feel it's not over yet
What we've done you'll have to forget
Or all we'll reap is bitter regret

[talkin' to my friend misfortune
Take me for a ride
How i wish that i could only
Give you back your life again]

Darlin' - i wanna stay with you
'til the morning comes
And that last train rides

Take me along to a place i remember
Where all of my friends - now they're gone forever
How they love the sweet life

I'm destined to run with the holy
I must wait
Dying inside ever slowly
I'll be on my way

I saw the flame of the candle burning down so low
I danced with my friends 'til they had to go
My spirit stayed -give me no relief
My spirit stayed -gave me no release
How they loved the sweet life

I'm destined to run with the holy
I must wait
Dying inside ever slowly
I'll be on my way

Sitting alone in a darkened room
Trail of smoke and warn out mind
Mister depression overstayed his welcome
Something inside took me away

Take me along to a place i remember
All of my friends -thought i knew them better
How they loved the sweet life

In the middle of the night you
Know i heard the voices call
Said they'd try to ease me through my pain
Then i started to question
Am i sane or confused
Don't think that i will ever know

Chorus
It's hard to believe
That the sun still sets without you
I was so afraid to let you know
It's hard to believe
That the world still turns without you
I was so afraid to let you go

I was starting to believe
That i was destined for the worst
It was all the life i'd ever know
It was getting to the point that i'd
Thought i'd not return
I was so unsure of where i'd go

Chorus
It's hard to believe
That the sun still sets without you
I was so afraid to let you know
It's hard to believe
That the world still turns without you
I was so afraid to let you go

In the middle of the night
Sometimes i hear the voices call
Don't think that i will ever know

Chorus
It's hard to believe
That the sun still sets without you
I was so afraid to let you know
It's hard to believe
That the world still turns without you
I was so afraid to let you go

I'm walkin' down these dark streets - all alone
A light ahead free coffee if you have no home
A parking lot full of people - same as me
Waiting for the messiah - his shift will start at three

Chorus
He's a real convenience store messiah
Idol worship for an idle mind
He's a real convenience store messiah
Turning bottled water into win

Waiting for the papers to come outside
They make such nice warm blankets - get in line
Sometimes he might let us - stay inside
The only one who will listen
He can be so kind

Chorus
He's a real convenience store messiah
Idol worship for an idle mind
He's a real convenience store messiah
Turning bottled water into wine

(they see through eyes)
Looking through his window
(a glowing light)
Staring at his vision late at night
(they idolize, they realize)
Reaching out their hands

Chorus
He's a real convenience store messiah
Idol worship for an idle mind
He's a real convenience store messiah
Turning bottled water into wine
