Only in the darkness
You are able to see
Painting a picture in your mind
But it won't last forever.

You are able to see
Even with closed eyes
But it won't last forever
Day must come.

Even with closed eyes
You are living
Day must come
And life goes on.

You are living
During the night
And life goes on
Brighter than before.

During the night
You come to a place
Brighter than before
Most of the time.

You come to a place
And life has meaning
Most of the time
Until you're awakened.

Life has meaning
Under the stars
Until you're awakened
And it all disappears.

Under the stars
You lay alone
And it all disappears
Until you cone alive again.

You lay alone
Painting a picture in your mind
Until you come alive again
Only in darkness.
