Quidam - Behind My Eyes

When nothing seems to change
I just go on living out of sight
When no one understands
My lonely shelter is my way of life

In a whirl of thoughts
In a sea of words
I am dreaming away
Paleness of the skies
Makes me so afraid…

Here it comes: another dream full of fear
Light of day so suddenly disappears
Silent sigh, anxiety grows

Falling rain all through the night never stops
Like the tears that burn my eyes without hope
Time is still and moments pass

I am drowning fast
In a sea of words
But nobody seems to care
Paleness of the skies
Makes me so afraid

Behind the wall of sleep
Beyond you and me
Between footprints in sand
Millions of things go on
Time waits for no one
Behind the wall of sleep
Beyond you and me
Between footprints in sand
Millions of things go on
Time waits for no one

Alone in restless nightmares
Then cloudy blue
My fear grows everyday
It will never it will never go away

Locked inside my guardian cries
Nothing left for him to live for
Knows too well the light of day
Disappeared for evermore
Water gives the flowers life
Leaves of green will die without it
Our hope will fade away
Please my guardian, find the key!

In a silent humdrum life
Nothing ever seems to change my world
In a silent humdrum life
Nothing ever seems to change my world
Only thoughts rage in my mind

Behind the wall of sleep
Beyond you and me
Between footprints in sand
Hiding hiding

And so I fall asleep
Battle of thought comes to an end
Comes to an end…
