Turn out the lights just one more time
Tell everyone to get in line
For every hidden truth you have to find
While you stare at the sun until you go blind
So you don’t get lost inside your mind
No maze is worth the trouble
The darkness turns for those who sing
To bells that break where freedom rings
While angels float on broken wings
Where distance holds a world on strings
And traps you just to feel the sting
Until you’re seeing double
Learn to exhale, before you breath
Learn to let go, before you leave
Just keeping looking on
The tide is turning
You reach out for a guiding hand
That doesn’t drown in sinking sand
Afraid of taking any of stand
Devoid of any sudden plan
Where any act of burden lands
To tell a fractured story
When fate decides to turn the page
Before your whisper on the stage
That wants to sing inside your rage
While laughter lingers in a cage
And sadness waits to dance with age
That fades in all the glory
Hold the match, before the flame
Hold the fire, after the shame
Just keep looking on
After the burning
And now you turn to go back home
Where mysteries are never known
In every room where dreams will roam
And shadows play so all alone
When memories are almost grown
For fading hearts still crying
Don’t lose your voice to mercy screams
When wanderers give up on dreams
To drift along an aimless stream
Where sirens bow to wilting queens
And nothing is just as it seems
For kings afraid of flying
Forget the past, ignore the now
Forget the why, before the how
Just keep looking on
You’re only learning
