Intro
Verse 1
Shakespeare said it best it’s that life is a show
Born under the lights until they fade so slow
There are many questions when it starts to blow
But all these directions have only ever grown
The globe is a stage with domed walls for sides
Casting shadows which are hidden by the lights
I can’t fake a reason, sing a word or a rhyme
But I can hide forever, I’ve a killer’s mind
Chorus
I’ll sleep alone tonight
Visiting visions can stay in my head
My impermenance was shown
When it rained all day
And I got washed away
Verse 2
All these dreams we had when we were younger
Get frozen in time, the entropic end of a fire
The warmth of some fresh air walking
Gets numbed down to a weekday lie in
There’s a book somewhere full of songs I wrote
I dreamt of playing them to everyone I know
Now I can’t let paper through my bedroom door
Lest I’m reminded what I’ve got in store
Chorus
I’ll sleep alone tonight
Vacating visions have left my head
I may as well sleep through the day
It keeps raining anyway
Verse 3
I heard it said pull yourself out the ditch
But Turner said it best it’s that ‘life is a bitch’
I try to remind myself of what I’ve got to save
But I’m in a lead lined coffin beneath the waves
The air is running out it’s getting hard to breathe
As I remember all the dying leaves
Once fresh green sprouted new ideas
Now they fall to the ground just to catch my tears
Instrumental
Verse 4
I think I did it right when I played that note
I felt it coming back every time I wrote
The feelings went away, I got past that block
Spinning through space, steady as a rock
Birds flying high making homes in the trees
The silence flows out, washed away in the breeze
The journey is there for anyone to find
Music is how I healed my darkened mind
