(Verse 1) The room is familiar, but the walls talk in a strange tone, I search for names in the mist, while time leads me to the unknown. A photo on the shelf, a smile I cannot place, I grope in the dark, searching for my own face. The book is still open, the page is white and clear, I know I was here, but I don't know where I am, or why I fear. (Chorus) 'Cause everything flows like sand through my fingers fast, Piece by piece, the world is gone, shadows from the past. The names start to fade, all the pictures turn grey, My life is a journey with no proof to show the way. My memory lets go, like a kite in the wind, I’ve lost the thin thread that once kept me pinned. (Verse 2) The shadow in the corner breathes, it starts to get a face, My youth is now bathed in a different light, in a different place. The table turns to stone, the floor becomes a stormy sea, Reality is crumbling, taking all my grasp from me. Where do my dreams end, and reality start to show? I wander through a maze where logic has nowhere to go. (Verse 3) You sit there in the chair, your eyes full of sorrow deep, You call me by my name, but the sound makes me weep. I see love in your gaze, I feel I know you somewhere, But I can't find who I am for you, it’s beyond repair. A stranger in my heart, an echo of a ghost, The bridge has collapsed, and I'm drowning on this coast. (Bridge) I try to hold it tight, I cling unto the light, But the shadow grows and pulls me into the night. Not out of spite or hate, just time’s ruthless toll, It takes all I’ve built, and slowly strips away my soul. (Chorus) 'Cause everything flows like sand through my fingers fast, Piece by piece, the world is gone, shadows from the past. The names start to fade, all the pictures turn grey, My life is a journey with no proof to show the way. My memory lets go, like a kite in the wind, I’ve lost the thin thread that once kept me pinned. (Outro) Fading... Until the static starts to cease, Until the void brings me peace. I’m still here... But where am I? Simply... Quiet.
