Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lost in the wind
Without a direction
Possessed by perfection
In this land, if you're awake, you're the enemy
[Verse 2]
I run away
In search of redemption
A path to ascension
Like an elevator, rising to the sun
[Verse 3]
I scream at the stars
But nobody's listening
Searching for the end
But the journey's the reason for existence
[Verse 4]
It's tearing at my heart
The secret's in the distance
Hard to find the truth in the dark
When you're begging for forgiveness
[Verse 5]
Scorched by the rays
My quest is relentless
My spirit is desperate
To find comfort in the arms of her remedy
[Verse 6]
Chasing a face
That has no reflection
The lights of salvation
Disappear into the shadows of the sand
[Verse 7]
I scream at the stars
But nobody's listening
Searching for the end
But the journey's the reason for existence
[Verse 8]
It's tearing at my heart
The secret's in the distance
Hard to find the truth in the dark
When you're begging for forgiveness
I'm begging for forgiveness
[Verse 9]
Yeah
Hey
[Verse 10]
Chase my shadow to the sun
Chase my shadow to the sun
[Verse 11]
I scream at the stars
But nobody's listening
Searching for the end
But the journey's the reason for existence
[Verse 12]
It's tearing at my heart
The secret's in the distance
Hard to find the truth in the dark
When you're begging for forgiveness
I'm begging for forgiveness
[Verse 13]
Somewhere else the earth turns 'round
Softly in the sky, so sound
Wallowing away
Wallowing away
Comfort in the grace I've found
[Verse 14]
Circling a distant star
Constellation drifts apart
Falling into phase
Falling into phase
Far beyond the shapeless heart
[Verse 15]
Somewhere else the earth turns 'round
Softly in the sky, so sound
Wallowing away
Wallowing away
Comfort in the grace I've found
