Album: Dying Vine (2005)

Out From The Shadows

Dark skies and I?m drowning in the flood again. Endless affliction sent to torture my soul.
Why does this misery follow me? Why can?t I escape this pain?
Drill another hole through my skull. Release another demon.
Take any length to pass the blame. Responsibility - washed my hands clean.
Demons in the night? Self-righteous perception. Defensively, I hide blind in the shadows.
Misery cuts deep and yet my innocent hands hold the blood soaked knife.
Every action leads to reaction, every choice to a consequence.
Foolish decisions yield a price to pay. Pass the blame and yet the debt remains.
Wipe the scales from my eyes that I might gain clarity of sight.
With a new perspective I take ownership of my actions, the impending flood now seems a healthy rain.
Pain is inevitable but misery is optional.
Suffering and pain will fade away as hope lives on and love remains.
