[VERSE 1]
Sunlight won’t break through
‘Cause I’m a room without a view
A lifetime of emptiness
Has driven me to the edge of madness
Somewhere in the blue
My dreams belong to you
But here in this hollowness
My heart has turned into the cradle of darkness
[CHORUS]
It’s time to kiss
Another day goodbye
Forgiving the sun
For all days to come
Another promise undone
In the void of existence
I found my bliss
In a moonless nighttime sky
‘Cause I have become
A shade on the run
A journey never begun
In this sidereal distance
[VERSE 2]
Don’t look for a clue
‘Cause I’m a knot you can’t undo
This rope of unhappiness
Is piercing my feet with its abrasive tightness
Just one step or two
And I’ll be there with you
But the winds of my loneliness
Keep blowing apart the bitter ends of my sadness
[CHORUS]
It’s time to kiss
Another day goodbye
Forgiving the sun
For all days to come
Another promise undone
In the void of existence
I found my bliss
In a moonless nighttime sky
‘Cause I have become
A shade on the run
A journey never begun
In this sidereal distance
[BRIDGE]
Time to drop this circadian torture
For the wheel of life ain’t the wheel of fortune
And the will to forge it will not let you fold it
When your veins are flooded with the flames of fortitude
Fight your fate – in the face of desistence
Redefine your faith – in the grace of persistence
Redirect your anger to the wall of resistance
Be a silent clangor in a world that never listens
Shout it out loud ‘cause there’s no way you can hold it
The revolt in your voice – a rage of ages unfolded
And when you feel you’re falling fly afloat your folly
You’re a flawless fleet – so find your flow and follow it
Fuel the force to kill the dominating pattern
Then go reinvent the wheel to fill your liberating patent
Light a path of knowledge through your inner voltage
Reemerge in charge from the verge of nowhere
[VERSE 3 / OUTRO]
Sunlight won’t break through
‘Cause I’m a room without a view
Yet somewhere in the blue
My dreams belong to you
Don’t look for a clue
‘Cause I’m a knot you can’t undo
But just one step or two
And I’ll be there with you
