4. Astray (5:22)
This is not for me
I can’t persist or breathe that which poisons me
My angels are falling and I lie bare
Felled by the arrows of a different calling
Urging me to look, look the other way
Faith’s amiss and I’m astray
This was never meant for me so why would I stay?
The winter once brought me this sorrow
Since everything seems to hurt just let me go
Got doubts enough to fill, an emptiness a void
I’m on the other side of life where I don’t belong
I threw myself in heaven’s arms
Wore my open wounds to see
You swore yourself to me
So join my hands in search of truth
Please take the giant leap with me
This world is not for me
So why should I stay?
The winter once brought me this sorrow
Since everything seems to hurt just let me go
I used to be stronger
I used to want this more
Is everything meant to hurt?
It won’t leave me alone
[Solo: Danhage]
Layer after layer I need to keep this hidden
Brick after brick buries it deeper and deeper
Leave it in the cold to be forgotten to grow old
The winter…
I can’t persist or breathe that which poisons me
My angels are falling and I lie bare
Felled by the arrows of a different calling
Urging me to look, look the other way
Faith’s amiss and I’m astray
This was never meant for me so why would I stay?
The winter once brought me this sorrow
Since everything seems to hurt just let me go
Got doubts enough to fill, an emptiness a void
I’m on the other side of life where I don’t belong
I threw myself in heaven’s arms
Wore my open wounds to see
You swore yourself to me
So join my hands in search of truth
Please take the giant leap with me
This world is not for me
So why should I stay?
The winter once brought me this sorrow
Since everything seems to hurt just let me go
I used to be stronger
I used to want this more
Is everything meant to hurt?
It won’t leave me alone
[Solo: Danhage]
Layer after layer I need to keep this hidden
Brick after brick buries it deeper and deeper
Leave it in the cold to be forgotten to grow old
The winter…
