Spark of Surrender

Flickering the half-light shadows on the wall Whispers of the echoes calling through the hall I chase the lines of yesterday blurred in the rain Chasing fragments of a self that slipped away The mirror cracks and reflections bend and break What am I beneath the weight I can't forsake Screaming silent in the crowd, lost in the noise Tearing at the seams of this fragile voice We're all just ghosts in the machine Fading slow, introspections blade It cuts so deep, you know Yeah, we bleed the truth, we hide away It's a crying storm, we find our way Shards of doubt unravel, pulling at the core Memories like thorns anchoring ever in I wander through the through the labyrinth of my mind Searching for the spark, the time left behind The questions form like static in the night Drowning out the pulse, stealing back the light Screaming silent in the crowd, lost in the noise Tearing at the seams of this fragile voice We're all just ghosts in the machine Fading slow, introspections blade It cuts so deep, you know Yeah, we bleed the truth, we hide away It's a crying storm we find our way And if the walls come crashing let them fall I'll sift through the wreckage answer the call No more pretending, no more disguise Just the raw edge of me, under any sky No more pretending, no more disguise Waves of revelation, crash against the shore Night, clean the illusions, I can't ignore In the hollow of the hour, truth starts to ignite Burning through the layers of the night Into endless night Screaming silent in the crowd, lost in the noise Tearing at the seams of this fragile voice We're all just ghosts in the machine Fading slow, introspections blade It cuts so deep, you know Yeah, we bleed the truth, we hide away It's a crying storm, we find our way We find our way Fade out on the echo, lingering stay Flicker in the half-light, shadows start to mend Whispers turn to ants Anthems around the bend I trace the lines of tomorrow Clear in the flame No more lost, just the self I finally claimed
