While The World's Asleep

from A Mind's Portrait by Phenome

/

lyrics

Street lights passing over
shining bright into the sky
Distort the light as it falls
Glowing until the morning light

Silence falls on deaf ears
unheard by all who feel it
Burning ears until it sleeps

Until the morning light I will wander
Far from where I started, wandering alone
I'll cross the night, until our last goodbye
are you with me? I’m far from home

Wander without a purpose
Never knowing where to go
Wander until displaced
The confusion never shows

I wander to the edge of beyond
And if you call me I will follow
One last journey in the night

Until the morning light I will wander
Far from where I started, wandering alone
I'll cross the night, until our last goodbye
are you with me? I’m far from home
________________________________

Out of the darkness into the night
Searching for the world I've never known
Craving answers to the questions in mind;
this life we are shown, I feel like I'm
Clinging to a runaway train
Destination undecided
Waiting for the end
When everything's revealed inside my mind

Underneath this cosmic symphony
I travel in silent wonder
I'm waiting for the moment
It comes crashing down like thunder

_______________________________

Lost in the silence
Immersed in isolation
Frozen still in a moment in time
Caught up in this new sensation

As time carries on without me
The present slips into the past
Caught up in peaceful oblivion
I hope that I can make this moment last

Still I'm walking
Following every winding bend
Where I go, I'll never pre-determine
But before the dawn, I'll reach the end

______________________________

Reaching through the darkness
Holding out my hand
Grasping my chance to feel alive again

Now the moment's finally here
This downpour inside my head
The wind that blows before the rain

As the stars shine down and light this crooked path
I will follow it until the day begins to break
Like a dream has ended, my senses come to life
I was sleeping, but now I'm wide awake

And now I'm wide awake / the memory remains
And I'll wander far and wide / until I'm home again

__________________________

Now my journey's ending
My road comes to an close
As the shattered lights illuminate the world
I will know, I am home

The day is drawing closer
And the light begins to spill into my eyes
As the sky is split with fire and new life
And the crack of dawn will break over horizons

And now I'm at the end
The feeling runs so deep
The wonder and elation / and I'll never stop
Walking far from home, while the world's asleep
