lyrics

It’s an ancient sleep that beckons me
It’s the tears I weep that bring harmony
Cuz being alive means feeling the pain
Having the drive to remove the stain
Somewhere along the path comes joy, hearing the song from a distant shore
Seeing the light in the darkest cave, finding my sight and denying the grave

Cracks are forming on my face
Years of storms I can’t erase
But I can take it all in stride
I can even fake my pride
Memories fresh in my mind, start to mess with my sense of time
I finally know just who I am, survived the blows and I understand

Night will fall won’t close my eyes
I’ll take the call and claim my prize
The deepest cavern of my soul
A key I hide that makes me whole
It seems this dusty trail won’t end, I’m growing frail I could use a friend
Building castles out of air, no more hassles I've had my share
