lyrics

In the darkness of the night
The reel’s turning and I can’t control the light show
That illuminates my mind
Lighting corners cast in shadow by the morning light

In the small hours of the night
The files empty out repeatedly before me
And with 20/20 sight
Ad infinitum it’s my history in black and white
It takes my life

And I lied and I know and it tears my heart out – Forward now
And I can but I won’t and it tears my heart out – Forward now
And I can’t let go and it tears my mind out – Forward now
All I need is to sleep – peace of mind I can keep – oh I’m in too deep
Hit the reset

In the early morning light
A weight is lifted with amnesia an accomplice
It could take a little time
But with a wind that’s strong enough to clear a path I might
Walk this line
