lyrics

I can’t see where I’m going
Or heading to
But determination will hopefully
Guide me through

Have you ever felt the sky
If not then you don't know,
What this paradise feels like

With eyes fixed on my feet
and heart heavily beats
My name was shattered on your lips
And so I'll dig myself into these streets

The white lies will make things right
Mindlessly spitting out these thought-through words
In the cover of night.
Wandering earth is just part of your birth

x3
When the night cease to be
I will feel the light
Rain down on me

We wander out of strife
Disappearing from sight of those we should hold the closest, just to distance ourselves
As if wiping the slate clean can be done with a blood-stained rag
Lighting the sky on fire, won't keep it from raining tomorrow
And as I sink into this void of guilt and closed eyes
An outcast of my own kind
This blame
This epiphany
Wll devastate my mind

Don’t let the cover of night
Lead me astray
Don’t let the cover of night
Lead me her way

x6
When the night cease to be
I will feel the light
Rain down on me

White lies, black skies
