The shadows have surrounded me, taken me to a place deserted
Hiding in the shadows as my life passes me by
The darkness has surrounded me, trapped me in a place deserted
Slipping into the darkness as my life crashes around me
I try to listen, yet all sound has forsaken my ears
I try to speak, yet all words have abandoned my tongue
I try to see, yet all light has vacated my eyes
All this time I stayed on the outside never really listening
Never really watching, never really living
One day I will be able to escape this isolation
Someday I will be able to live again and be free of these shackles
The silence has grown around me, surrounding me in loneliness
All dreams have left as my memory disappears
The darkness has grown around me, surrounding me in solitude
All light has left as my eyes weaken
I try to listen, yet all sound has forsaken my ears
I try to speak, yet all words have abandoned my tongue
I try to see, yet all light has vacated my eyes
All this time I stayed on the outside never really listening
Never really watching, never really living
One day I will be able to escape this isolation
Someday I will be able to live again and be free of these shackles
The shadows will one day be turned to light
The darkness will one day be burned away
The silence will someday be drowned away
By the sound of my heart
I try to listen, I try to speak, I try to see...
All this time I stayed on the outside never really listening
Never really watching, never really living
One day I will be able to escape this isolation
Someday I will be able to live again and be free of these shackles
