LYRICS:

Afraid to see.
The end of me.
In this infinity.
Where does it begin?
Is there something before?
Or, was it just a dream.

Enigma.
Tell me the secrets.
Under your skin.

When the day.
Shows the bright sun.
Birth of all.
Fear not my child.
For you will return.
To the source.
And your pain will be gone.

A feeling of emptiness.
Keeps lingering in me.
Past or future I can’t tell.
The void is calling me.

Will I ever find?
What you’re trying to hide?
Is it just a straight line?
That never ends.
Can you reach my hand?
From the other side.
Will we see each other.
In this new life.

Why can’t we see?
Behind this veil.
A deceiver.
That keeps us locked.
In ourselves.
A darkness.
That touches every mind.
Sick of being stuck.
In this cycle.
Destruction ~ Creation.
You won’t change how it started ~
But you can change how it ends.
