demo of ...And The Light Shall Lie off of The Absence of Tides off of Phoenix Down's The Cycle Of Strife EP!!
lyrics
Verse:
Living in a dream, Knowing that you're dreaming, You turn away
Bittersweet routine a little piece inside you dies each day
Clinging to the hope, Clinging to the empty, clinging to the memories
Prechorus:
Truths are what we make them, All becoming relics of the damage she left behind
Half your life decides it's better off with out you
how do you cope when half your life abandons you
Chorus:
Light for whom all of this is for
Light let my steps be swift and sure
Light give me strength for near a decade
I allowed these fires to burn to return to the dream
Verse:
When we finally wake to the bitter stench of Faded dreams
I let myself fall prey to thoughts of love overshadowed by your games
Watching you for signs, Watching you for answers, watching you for anything
We must be aware of our weakness lest we find ourselves enslaved by it again
Prechorus:
Life's full of pitfalls to negotiate ahead
wait steady steps, don't turn don't speak don't act too soon now
Chorus:
To many lies now to conceal for your deception is so real
But i've grown so tired watching from the sidelines of your game
It was all for you
