Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sun is a liar, a blinding white noise
Drowning the echoes of my quietest voice
I’m peeling the layers, the skin and the pride
Looking for secrets, the daystar would hide
Trace the geometry, the lines in the dust
A temple of silence, a chalice of lust.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the flicker...
It fades into the gray
Let the peripheral...
Wash the meaning away.
[Chorus]
I’m finally finding my way, lost in the dark
No more reflections to tear me apart
Weightless and hollow, I’m coming undone
Safe from the heat of a merciless sun
In the shadows, in the deep
A promise I finally keep.
[Verse 2]
The shadows are honest, they don’t try to heal
They reflect the hollow; they show what is real
Staring at nothing until it stares back
Finding the spectrum inside of the black
Distilled and diluted, I’m pouring the soul
Into the cracks to make the void whole.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the flicker...
It’s gone into the gray
Let the peripheral...
Carry me away.
[Chorus]
I’m finally finding my way, lost in the dark
No more reflections to tear me apart
Weightless and hollow, I’m coming undone
Safe from the heat of a merciless sun
In the shadows, in the deep
A promise I finally keep.
[Bridge]
Close your eyes... and see.
Close your eyes... and be.
Not a ghost, not a man, not a memory.
Just the vision.
Just the pull.
Empty.
Full.
EMPTY.
FULL.
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Lost in the dark...
(Lost in the dark)
Where the silence is loud.
(Where the silence is loud)
Dissolve into the fold.
Mercury and gold.
Sleep...
Just sleep.
