Lyrics
Waiting at dawn for the war to begin
And I’m watching the clock tick slow
For the good times are over and my freedom’s eroding,
It’s a battle that drags me low
A sideshow to nowhere that circles forever
It eats me away inside
Like the longest days, of finding a reason
When the lock and the key collide
To see the birds singing in the morning madness
The sunshine lights their way
But all I want is what I can’t have
And my happiness turns grey
I’m down in the valley of a vinyl spiral
A hollow that’s deep in the ground
Spinning around until the music is over,
I’m trapped in the silence now
I stare out the window at the whispering willows
And wonder about the sound
Of the Earth when it’s falling through the empty spaces
And when will it run aground
So I crawl through the haze
Until the daylight is over
And I find myself again
To make new resolutions
And change my emotions,
For the better times ahead
Alone in the darkness my mind starts to wander
Until I forget who I am
Then the stranger inside me tries to remember
When the insanity began
And all I dream of and all I hope for
Is a way to end the war
Before it’s too late and my will surrenders
To the light of another dawn
And so I’m losing my mind
In the shadow of madness
So I crawl through the haze
Until the daylight is over
And I find myself again
To make new resolutions
And change my emotions,
For the better times ahead
Alone in the darkness my mind starts to wander
Until I forget who I am
Then the stranger inside me tries to remember
When the insanity began
And all I dream of and all I hope for
Is a way to end the war
Before it’s too late and my will surrenders
To the light of another dawn
And for all my forgiveness
I'm faced with the sadness
That I’m losing my mind
In the shadow of madness
[Heavy breakdown]
The shadow of madness
In the ancient void
That swallows us whole
Our lives destroyed
