Drifting (Nocturne)

lyrics

Drifting in and out,
I’ve been wrestling with my self-doubt.
All night long, fight myself
To tell the difference between right and wrong.

Listen to the sounds,
Feel a nocturne building all around.
All night long, catch myself
Typing the lyrics to another song.

(All alone)
I can’t tell what’s right; I can’t tell what’s wrong.
Tell me the difference, ‘cause I don’t know
Who to trust; who’s my guide?
Am I hearing the truth, or am I hearing a lie?
(I lose control)
Inside my head, inside my mind,
Conflicting voices on either side.
Making decisions that I don’t like.
The Devil’s disguise staring me in the eyes.
(Start to believe)
I stare right back and absorb it all,
Soak it in and then I fall
Into his grips; I fall for his tricks,
Believe the words coming from his lips.
(What lies before me)
I’m on the ground, being dragged around
By the snake who wants just to bring me down.
He brings me down, he brings me down
Into the darkness, no light, just sound.
(Drifting)

This symphony is my cry of despair.
I'm in need of somebody
To wake me from this nightmare
And tear me apart from this nocturnal heart.
Or else, I'll be left stumbling around in the dark. 

Fallen down, I’ve fallen down,
Blending in among the crowd.
Too late to get up off the ground.
Slipping into a shroud
Of darkness, of pain.
No hope or faith remain.
Despair is closing in.
I’m giving into sin.
I wake up from the nightmare and take a breath,
I drift back to the dream that’s full of death;
Death of my heart, death of my spine,
Searching for strength ‘cause I’ve lost all of mine.
Trapped in the darkness, I can’t see the dawn.
I’m scared of my fate and what lies beyond
This world; nothing is pleasant.
The future, it haunts me, just like the present.

Drifting in and out,
All the noise is getting way too loud.
Hard to hear, cover my ears
From all my doubt and all my fears.
All night long, lose myself
Within the lyrics of another song.
