A Distant Light Was Shining - The Old Dead Tree

A distant light was shining

For all these years

My life was pretty dark

I had to live with my fears

All this time it helped me to hold on But it’s becoming useless

So I should let it down

Take it off, burn it all, take the pain away

Take that mask off your face, are your eyes made of clay?

Take it off, burn it all, take the pain away

Stop lying to yourself, you won’t face it today

I finally broke down the walls of my prison

Constantly exhausted for no good reason

But I won’t complain or open my veins

A better life’s waiting, where I’m now going!

Take it off, burn it all, take the pain away

Take that mask off your face, are your eyes made of clay?

Take it off, burn it all, take the pain away

Stop lying to yourself, you won’t face it today

I never thought it could become obsolete so fast

This decision was hard to take, but I made it at last

I know it took me so long

I wasn’t strong enough

I know it took me so long

To what life do I belong?

You’ve never felt this taste

It is much less sweet than the rest

But you cannot define it It fills your mouth and your mind

It makes you feel like you’re going blind

You can’t get rid of it by spitting

I finally broke down the walls of my prison

Constantly exhausted for no good reason

But I won’t complain or open my veins

A better life’s waiting, where I’m now going!
