lyrics

One A.M, Tuesday
It all becomes clear
I’ve been wasting all my years

Window blinds dancing
A frightening wind
I passed the test, there’s no escape,
The needle bends, it is too late
I feel the need to overcome this

Shadows and whispers
They’re all in my head
Yet they hurt as if they’re real

Portraits of old men
devoid of soul
I passed the test, there’s no escape
The birds have sung the melody
As if they were singing to me
About the need to overcome this

I have seen the light
with my own two eyes
dreamt of a shadow, cold left unspoken
blinded by my thoughts

Night dissipates
And I have never felt so sick
Someone awakes
I hear the footsteps on the floor below

Insomnia haze
Heeps me from crawling out of my bed
The portrait’s still there
Gazing out, piercing the walls

And I have seen the light
With my own two eyes
Dreamt of a shadow, cold left unspoken
Blinded by my ... blinded by my

Morning rise, moon down
The pattern repeats

The suit is hanging from a chair,
The robots rush out to nowhere
I feel the need to overcome this
