lyrics

Heavy lies the weight of a scorned past
Wait a moment and this too shall pass

I'm in the way of myself lately

A heavy feeling in the chest
Sudden cardiac arrest
If there's life after death, is there a time to truly rest?
Has my soul become quiet now?
Does he fall asleep as I spiral down
As I spiral down

I block it out to ignore the sound; it's overbearing
Feet to the earth, head in the clouds; I'm disappearing
As more of life fades I forget who I was trying to be
A ghost in the shell, a flickering flame, a dying light

I'm in the way of myself lately

When Death caresses my skin, and my time has come to an end
When I'm at the gates should I pretend that I'm not guilty of my sins?
If I talk to the devil as a friend, does it mean that He won't let me in?
Will He be able to forgive me when I've been here time and time again?

I shut the door to keep it out; I swallowed the key
Feet to the earth, head in the clouds; I'm disappearing
As more of life fades, I forget who I was trying to be
A ghost in the shell, a flickering flame, a wanna be
I'm in the way of myself lately

So much empty space in time and I get lost trying to find my peace of mind
The end lingers just like a plague
And what comes next is a mystery
So much empty space in time; within that, I can't find the lines to end this song
As if this were the only part of me that will live on

Through power, there is strength
Internal power / Internal strength
Through power, there is strength
Internal power = Eternal strength
