Dawn To Dusk

Dawn To Dusk

Autopilot Off
(album: Looking Up)

Fed up, knocked down.
Withdrawn from everything that once was comfortable.
So much for routine.
You´re weighted down, sinking.
Swimming against the stream that once carried you
home, took you to the place where you belonged.
I thought I heard you crying out.
I thought I heard you say goodbye.
It doesn´t matter where you are,
your shadow is close behind.

You know your reflection doesn´t lie.
You see a tired face through sullen, sunken eyes.
A portrait of regret.
It won´t let you forget.
Still tangled in the net you thought you´d left behind,
just to find you can´t run from yourself.

I thought I heard you crying out.
I thought I heard you say goodbye.
It doesn´t matter where you are,
your shadow is close behind.

You´re wearing down, but still the same.
Dawn to dusk..
Day to day.
You stagger on, shrouded in shame,
still haunted by shadows.
They´re calling your name.

I thought I felt you reaching out.
Gasping just to stay alive.
Your shadow just gets longer as the sun falls from the sky.
