lyrics

Wide awake here for the first time
since I had found the estate here,
and in the meanwhile,
such a soothing sight on the lake here,
in the crosshairs of my former life of despair,
it still follows me around,
but you said,

"Don't believe what these eyes see,
in the quiet of your heart
is where I'll speak to thee,
and if you ever feel
this world's too real,
then I offer you these remedies,
just use them wisely."

Overcome now for the last time,
I'll build silent walls made of brick now,
but I still cry for this troubled world
that spins 'round,
with fixed eyes on the former self I despise,
he still pushes me around,
but you said,

"Don't believe what sense perceives,
in the quiet of your heart
is where I'll speak to thee,
and if you ever feel,
this pain's too real,
then I offer you these remedies,
just use them wisely."

And still...

I keep thinking all the wrong things,
I keep runnin' 'round in circles,
but your whisper overpowers ego,
and presents me an option,
to quit thinking all the wrong things,
and stop runnin' 'round in circles,
but how could I have imagined
if I had always imagined life to be empty here?
