Vicinity - Awakening Lyrics

You know
I woke up one day
And saw the world with new eyes
I know
I broke free one day
And I rid myself of the lies

I am responsible
And therefore I am free
We open our eyes ourselves
And therefore we can see
Always looking
For something else
To make a change

To give an answer to our longing
And try to settle our mind
The search seems never ending
And what are we supposed to find?

Open your eyes
You'll see fire spring from ashes
And you'll realize
This time death is a friend
But the war goes on
And how is this supposed to end?

Now we're here
I waited for this moment
Eyes scanning
Hearts racing
Nowhere to hide
There was never
Any way to
Avoid this wild ride

You can never be totally sure
That you'll never fall again
Especially when your mind
Seldom proves your friend

Life in peril
My destiny?
Will I stand tall?
Will I fall?

Whatever the cost was
I've paid it now
Now the time has come to me
To be free

We need an answer to our longing
To try to settle our mind
The search seems never ending
And what are we supposed to find?

Open your eyes
You'll see fire spring from ashes
And you'll realize
This time death is a friend
But the war goes on
And how is this supposed to end?

In the end it all comes together
Like clouds in the unbroken sky
Some things seem to last forever
And still we remember
All the things that we've been through
Like clouds above my head
Be they black or white
They remind me of me and you
