Across The Night

[Verse 1]
I turn the days like pages worn,
In margins, time has left its stain.
With every word, a face is torn,
And bridges burn in pouring rain.

I look for meaning like a glow,
To keep my own reflection true,
But this obsession locks the show,
And still I don't know what to do.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Build-up]
I walk across the night’s far side,
Past the edge that outruns light.
If my heart won’t draw a line,
Then my road is still in sight.

[Chorus]
[Anthem, Powerful]
Meaning fades in the web of things,
And light still clings to our sky’s rim.
From a black hole no one escapes,
But some say one broke out for him.

In mirrors shadows hide and grin,
They laugh in tongues I’ve never heard.
I’m learning not to fear the spin –
To fall is how I learn to fly.

[Verse 2]
Let my thoughts break from the chain,
And shatter right off the beaten track.
From broken shards, we rise again,
Where meaning never will look back.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Build-up]
I walk across the night’s far side,
Past the edge that outruns light.
If my heart won’t draw a line,
Then my road is still in sight.

[Chorus]
[Anthem, Powerful]
Meaning fades in the web of things,
And light still clings to our sky’s rim.
From a black hole no one escapes,
But some say one broke out for him.

[Bridge]
[Emotional, Stripped-back]
If someone doesn’t take the hint,
And stays locked up inside their head,
These darker thoughts will leave a print,
Inside a void that's cold and dread.

Let my lines be rough and frail,
My path like ice that's paper-thin.
Everything I lose on this trail
Will find its way back home again.

[Chorus]
[Epic, Big Finish]
Meaning fades in the web of things,
And light still clings to our sky’s rim.
From a black hole no one escapes,
But some say one broke out for him.

[Outro]
[Fade out]
Broke out for him...
No one escapes...
[End]
