What Shadows Portray

Somebody cedes to retribution Stiff in the gears of a losing game What would be the price of absolution If this was all we had Years have been spent in isolation Approaching the edge when walls fall down Recalling the dreams of recreation They died without a sound Out of this darkened blend Is there a point in the end What can we possibly say Even on carousel Where every twist seems the same You still can derail How can we learn to endure the darkness Right till the end that dismays the brave When nothing in life will leave us doubtless Is faith a key to pain Do we hope against the grain So in this void of light You 're close to rest your head Confide your deepest fears to dusk But then you realize You're scared of night itself What if you kept your head held high Out of this darkened blend Is there a point in the end What can we possibly say Even a carousel where every twist seems the same Still can derail If the story's not what we meant Can we ask to pretend A plot that is moving and fair Inside this darkened blend There's always time to contend What shadows portray Stories keep unfolding Nothing's for sure Helpless yet relentless We wait for the cure Do you feel the same Do you see this way Imagine dawn after you've burnt your sun Is it hard to breathe Did you lose your creed Before we drown one more wave's to come When raining clouds obscure the sky Can bigger picture lie If we could ever see that far Grasp more than meets the eye
