Black Veins - Adept

Heavy eyes on the road of life

Cities pass me by like a flash of who I used to be

The sky is bleeding but I cannot see

Ironically you spoke about painting my picture and colouring me in

But the picture you drew didn’t include me, it was only you

I guess I’m just so fucking tired

It’s like I’m daydreaming at night and sleepwalking at day

I can’t find my pace nor the strength to stay

You always said I should be open, honest and sincere

I guess this is a start

So for the next 40 minutes, I will speak from the heart

And the truth is, maybe I don’t deserve to be happy

Light up the darkness!

Everywhere I turn, I see landscapes in grey

It’s a colourless world when the blind lead the way

Our endeavours won’t carry us back

The essence of hope still lies on the track

Will we see a new day in this dead and filthy world?

I hear the sound of a thousand screams

Break through the silence of shattered dreams

Don’t ever stray from the path they say

Don’t you diverge from the masses

I have seen the rise of a thousand suns in front of me

But I never felt the warming touch from the sky above me

I have seen the rise of a thousand suns in front of me

But I never felt the warming touch from the sky above me

Will the dark clouds swallow me?

Will the dark clouds swallow me?

I feel the sickness of this world feeding on me

My horizon will fade away

Light of tomorrow come today

And as the sun slowly sets tonight

I feel the dark clouds swallow me

A last string of hope gets buried

Death runs in my black veins

Death runs in my black veins

I have seen the rise of a thousand suns in front of me

But I never felt the warming touch from the sky above me

Will the dark clouds swallow me?

Will the dark clouds swallow me?

Let the light of tomorrow come today

We’ve been hanging on forever on a spark that never came

Let the light of tomorrow come today

We’ve been hanging on forever on a spark that never came

Let the light of tomorrow come today

We’ve been hanging on forever on a spark that never came

Let the light of tomorrow come today

We’ve been hanging on forever on a spark that never came
