[INTRO — MALE RHYTHMIC RAP] I was tired lost and alone music is my savior I savored the melody to ease my solely broken soul battles tore me down beats wore me out I rode the rails derailing my mind turning cold. climbing the rhyming ladder to reach beyond the clatter each step I kept pace with time reaching out to rewind ravaged regret [VERSE 1 — MALE MELODIC VOCALS] I found you somewhere in the dark between memory and faded dream a little light to guide my fight against the ever growing endless night we walked around through the sound bracing together against the hounds finding ways to embrace the days through music sang out loud [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING INTENSITY] And when the silence calls my name I feel your presence through the pain A voice that reaches through the night A hand that pulls me toward the light [FEMALE ECHO] Toward the light... [MALE — POWERFUL] I won't surrender to the night! [CHORUS — MALE ROCK VOCALS] I break down in the dark night air grabbing for ghosts that are not there. ephemeral hands glancing spans of distance across enduring misery. mind in tatters gracefully shattered from an age of blisters bled needlessly. You wiped my eye with a solid shining solid spirit of the sound. [FEMALE — SOARING, BELTED] Wake me up behind the darkness deep inside Deep insiiiiide! [MALE BACKING VOCALS] I hear you calling through the night! [FEMALE — BELTED] hold my hand through danger mysterious stranger through growing night I hide from demons from inside [MALE RESPONSE] Don't let me fade away! [FEMALE — SOFTENING] save me from the madness of my mind. [VERSE 2 — MALE RHYTHMIC RAP] slivers of hope shining through space and rhythm. Time bends in around fading light. black hole breaking sound echoes from a frequency sign. Guiding my hand to rewrite the lines righting the wrongs left behind. Beautiful shadow hidden in code showing signs I've never known breathing life back to the cold Smile shyly, half cocked wildly I grasp the lifeline of a life so bold [FEMALE BACKING VOCALS] To feel... To feel alive... [MALE — POWERFUL] I know that I can face the night! [CHORUS — FULL GOTHIC ROCK] I break down in the dark night air grabbing for ghosts that are not there. ephemeral hands glancing spans of distance across enduring misery. mind in tatters gracefully shattered from an age of blisters bled needlessly. You wiped my eye with a solid shining solid spirit of the sound. [FEMALE — SOARING BELTED VOCALS] Wake me up behind the darkness deep inside Deep insiiiiide! [FEMALE — BELTED] hold my hand through danger mysterious stranger through growing night I hide from demons from inside [MALE RESPONSE] Bring me back to life! [FEMALE — SOFT, HAUNTING] save me from the madness of my mind. [BRIDGE — SOFT MALE RAP, PIANO] thank you for healing wounds you did not know existed breaking chains that ceaselessly persisted clasped around my mind I constantly resisted kindred soul in the dark you left your mark against a life left….. [PAUSE — NEAR SILENCE] [MALE — POINTED DELIVERY] listless. [FEMALE — WHISPER] You are not alone... [MALE — BUILDING] I thought I'd lost the will to feel... [FEMALE — RISING] Let the light inside you heal... [MALE — POWERFUL] You gave me something I could hold! [FEMALE — SOARING] A heart that won't turn cold! [FINAL CHORUS — MALE AND FEMALE, FULL BAND] I break down in the dark night air grabbing for ghosts that are not there. ephemeral hands glancing spans of distance across enduring misery. mind in tatters gracefully shattered from an age of blisters bled needlessly. You wiped my eye with a solid shining solid spirit of the sound. [FEMALE — MAXIMUM INTENSITY] Wake me up behind the darkness deep inside Deep insiiiiide! [MALE — GRITTY, POWERFUL] I won't be swallowed by the night! [FEMALE — SOARING] hold my hand through danger mysterious stranger through growing night I hide from demons from inside [MALE AND FEMALE — OVERLAPPING] You brought me back from the edge! From insiiiiide! We will not surrender tonight! [FEMALE — FINAL BELT] save me from the madness of my mind. [MALE — SUSTAINED] You gave me a reason to survive! [FEMALE — HIGH, SOARING] To feel alive! [OUTRO — SOFT PIANO] a little light doth shine in the corners of my mind sparks lit from kind words spent halting decent into chaos and tragic binds [FEMALE — DISTANT ECHO] A little light... A little light... [MALE — QUIET] I found my way... [FEMALE — FADING] Into the light…
