Dawn (a New Beginning)

There comes a time to close your eyes, to what is real

When the passage beyond unveils, a path to the surreal

Welcome to my fortress tall

Nobody gets inside of these four walls

That's where you'll find me, that's where I'll be

No need to worry, I'm deep within side of me

You say that I've got all this room

And that's how I'll spend my time till I break

Reaching out for shadows, but the ILLUMINATION FADES

Waking up to portraits of another time and place

Something else is waiting, it lingers in the dark

Feeling out from everywhere, my mind and dreams are numb

An itching feeling under the skin

It leaves me blind and paralyzed

Can you see it, can you see how far I've gone

ILLUMINATION FADES

See how far I've gone

ILLUMINATION FADES

I scratch the surface, and tear the skin

But nothing exists or dares to leave

Deja vu written in my own blood

I exist in a slipstream in my own mind

When memories and thoughts collide

A shallow feeling deep inside

It kills me, it drives me insane...!

Abandoned baby left alone

Unhappy and restless, I make death my home

Through sleepless plains dividing my mind

Reaching out for shadows, but the ILLUMINATION FADES

Waking up to portraits , of another time and place

Something else is waiting, it lingers in the dark

Feeling out from everywhere, my mind and dreams are numb

ILLUMINATION FADES

See how far I've gone

ILLUMINATION FADES
