Lyrics

The darkest sky is here, still no need to fear. The sun is drawing near, a new frontier. Falling off the wall, edge of my mind, edge of my soul. Never-ending fall, until I give in or become whole. La la la la la, la la la la, la la la. La la la la la, la la la la, la la la. Oh, I know I wait, but it feels timeless. You know I said it all, in the silence. Will I ever believe, will I ever feel free, will I ever reach those gates? Will I ever see peace, will I ever feel ease, will I ever see your face? Will I ever believe, will I ever feel free, will I ever reach those gates? Will I ever see peace, will I ever feel ease, will I ever see your face? Falling off the wall, edge of my mind, edge of my soul. Never-ending fall, until I give in or become whole.
