Fade to Black

A blinding light
It shines on me all through the night
A shout, a scream
It can't be true it's just a dream
A joke, a game
And every day it feels the same to me
I cry, I wipe away the tears that cloud my eyes
Breakdown, is it over now?
This dark misery

Don't look back, my eyes they lie to me
Fade to Black, it's all a mystery
Trapped in a matrix so complete
Only my mind can set me free

I don't know, you're playing tricks on me
And the chaos that you bring you've got me down on my knees
I'm clawing away at the stain that surrounds me

I run, I hide
You made me blind, I face the light
But now I see
A dark illusion, fantasy
The lies, deceit
You show me what I want to see
But now I know
That I'm the only one I can believe
The truth, it'll pull me through
To the other side

Don't look back, my eyes they lie to me
Fade to Black, it's all a mystery
Trapped in a matrix so complete
Only my mind can set me free

I don't know, you're playing tricks on me
And the chaos that you bring you've got me down on my knees
I'm clawing away at the stain that surrounds me

Up and down, I'm searching every day
Turn around, blue skies they turn to grey
Open your mind and turn the key
Rip off the mask so you can see

Toss and turn, I'm living in a dream
The fire burns, a flame of light, and now I know what I need
I'll never give up, never stop, gotta go

Don't look back, my eyes they lie to me
Fade to Black, it's all a mystery
Trapped in a matrix so complete
Only my mind can set me free

I don't know, you're playing tricks on me
And the chaos that you bring you've got me down on my knees
I'm clawing away at the stain that surrounds me
