Avalanche - Ben Draiman

Here I am again

In a place all too familiar

A place that I have been so many times before

My soul is tortured

By constant analyzations

In a world of frustrations

What is it they want me to be?

But I refuse to play their game of deceptions

To be sentenced to slavement to everyone’s perceptions

I was trying to be seen without having to pretend

But now I’ve been disillusioned and I find myself again in an avalanche

In an avalanche

In an avalanche

If only I could see all the lies ahead of me

A future so clear would help to ease my fears

But since I lost my faith in tangible reality

To only what my eyes can see

I’ve lost sight of who I’m supposed to be

A chain of events so intimately related

Each and every one of them so carefully contemplated

Perhaps I should listen to the advice of my friends

But such is not my fate and here I am again

In an avalanche

In an avalanche

In an avalanche

Coming now

In an avalanche

I can never cease to be the person that I am

But I just can’t seem to measure up to all of my demands

All my agony and sorrow may never find their compensation

In this world of absurdity in which truth is its vexation

When you feel the emptiness, the loneliness and despair

When it seems the world has turned on you but you lack the strength to care

Find the strength to rise again and return from the place you’ve been

And find the courage to believe again in that which can’t be seen

In an avalanche

In an avalanche

In an avalanche

In an avalanche

In an avalanche
