In the night time, I come alive

In the daytime, I go to die

For the shadow haunts my wounded soul

There's no easy way out, no heat against the cold

Now I'm running, running from myself

And the shadow. Oh the shadow!

Stands tall with doom, like the tomb to which we move

Whispering news of more common truths

Before there was light

There was darkness in sight

Open your eyes

There'll be treasures to find

Before there was sound

There was silence around

Quiet the mind

You're treasures you hide

Ghosts of the past reminisce as I sit in mournful bliss

Doing nothing more than miss their terrifying kiss

Memories of regrets slither paralyzing grief

Through these life-giving veins, they bring you no relief

Now I'm running, running from my thoughts

Loud as this world, with silence fraught

They stomp inside, singing my every move

Thieves of joy of which they disapprove

Before there was light

There was darkness in sight

Open your eyes

There'll be treasures to find

Before there was sound

There was silence around

Quiet the mind

You're treasures you hide

You formed in darkness, cradled safely

It gave you all you needed to be here

You rest in darkness, close your eyes

Retreat to the unknown, there's nothing to fear!

There's nothing to fear!

Before there was light

There was darkness in sight

Open your eyes

There'll be treasures to find

Before there was sound

There was silence around

Quiet the mind

You're treasures you hide

Before light, darkness

Open, open your eyes

Before sound, silence

Quiet, quiet the mind
