Mists of Darkness Letra

[WASHED AWAY]

All alone in the silence of the morning.
Wake to find there's nothing there
that's worth living for,
that's worth dying for.
Either way you don't care.

Loss of interest in the things that once drove you
to a place where you could see.
There's things worth living for
There's things worth dying for
They're things that set you free.

You've fallen prey to the darkness all around you,
felt it wash away all that you are.
And in the fallout you sense a new beginning,
but you can't find the will and don't have the heart.

And you feel you're falling,
and you know you're drowning,
and your chance is fading,
and your strength is failing.

Sorrow, washed away in anger,
washed away in desperation all alone.
Sadness, washed away in waking,
washed away in finding a way you can cope

With the things you must face
With the endless rat race
With the trial of today
With the things that they say.
You don't need them - you can find a better way.

Sleep the day away, it's the easy way.
Too much pain today, too much apathy.

When your feelings are desperate,
your thoughts become dangerous.
When your thoughts put you in duress,
what's left for you is to bear it.

Written on your face is nothing but a trace
of where your pain is born,
of why your mind is torn.

Swaying on the edge of a knife
to the brink of insanity,
to the ruin of reality.
Your perception of your life
has warped what's going on.
What's here you think is gone.

Is there belief, is there relief
when the nightmare has begun?
Will your mind reach for the gun
or is there strength inside your soul?
To give you back control,
only you could know.

And you feel you're falling,
and you know you're drowning,
and your chance is fading,
and your faith is failing.

Sorrow, washed away in anger,
washed away in desperation all alone.
Sadness, washed away in waking,
washed away in finding a way you can cope

With the things you must face
With the endless rat race
With the trial of today
With the things that they say.
You don't need them - you can find a better way.

[SILENT SUFFERING]

Step outside into a world with so many people
Understand that life can be deceiving
Live in hope that you can cope for another day
Understand that giving is receiving.

They say, oh I can feel the waves roll in
as time begins to slip right through my fingers.

The silent suffering's all around you.
It burns your soul as it surrounds you
It leaves a hole when it has bound you
It rides the waves in hope to drown you.

Step inside and see a world without any people
Understand that this is not who you are
Live in trust that life's not just fearing your future
Understand that alone you've come this far.

They say, oh I can feel the waves roll in
as time begins to slip right through my fingers.

The silent suffering's all around you.
It takes its place as it surrounds you
It hides its face from those who found you
It rides the waves in hope to drown you.

They say I want to reach another shore
I understand there's so much more
They know, inside their minds the battles rage
while placed upon life's empty stage.

Find out why the suffering hides
and why each breath is filled with need.
Presence of mind to reach inside
and find out why old wounds still bleed.

They say, oh I can feel new life begin
as hope has found a grip within my fingers.

The silent suffering's all around you.
It burns your soul as it surrounds you
It takes its toll when it has bound you
It rides the waves in hope to drown you.
Don't let it drown you.
