Tuonela - The Shades of You Lyrics

Lying in the midst of the fire you ignited but I don't feel the warmth
Rain comes pouring down, it's my silver lining, the calm before the storm
I welcome the thunder. I brace myself
I knew this was coming. I couldn't save myself

I wasn't strong enough to pull myself out
The shades of you I didn't recognize disguised themselves
And I was convinced it was all in my head
I didn't trust myself, I blinded myself instead. Instead

Waking up to a deafening silence everywhere but inside my mind
All this time I thought I needed your presence and now without you I am fine
This is a loneliness that is comforting
And that alone is telling me something.

I wasn't strong enough to pull myself out
The shades of you I didn't recognize disguised themselves
And I was convinced it was all in my head
I didn't trust myself, I blinded myself instead. Instead

Falling in the cracks but they're leading to somewhere
Anywhere but here
This mystery is frightening but somehow enlightening
And it's freeing my soul

I wasn't strong enough to pull myself out
The shades of you I didn't recognize disguised themselves
And I was convinced it was all in my head
I didn't trust myself, I blinded myself instead. Instead
Cuz' I wasn't strong enough to pull myself out
The shades of you I didn't recognize disguised themselves
And I was convinced it was all in my head
I didn't trust myself, I blinded myself instead. Instead
