Fade to Black

A blinding light It shines on me all through the night A shout, a scream It can't be true it's just a dream A joke, a game And every day it feels the same to me I cry, I wipe away the tears that cloud my eyes Breakdown, is it over now? This dark misery Don't look back, my eyes they lie to me Fade to black, it's all a mystery Trapped in a matrix so complete Only my mind can set me free I don't know, you're playing tricks on me And the chaos that you bring you've got me down on my knees I'm clawing away at the stain that surrounds me I run, I hide You made me blind, I face the light But now I see A dark illusion, fantasy The lies, deceit You show me what I want to see But now I know that I'm the only one I can believe The truth, it'll pull me through To the other side Don't look back, my eyes they lie to me Fade to Black, it's all a mystery Trapped in a matrix so complete Only my mind can set me free I don't know, you're playing tricks on me And the chaos that you bring you've got me down on my knees I'm clawing away at the stain that surrounds me Up and down, I'm searching every day Turn around, blue skies they turn to grey Open your mind and turn the key Rip off the mask so you can see Toss and turn, I'm living in a dream The fire burns, a flame of light, and now I know what I need I'll never give up, never stop, gotta go Don't look back, my eyes they lie to me Fade to Black, it's all a mystery Trapped in a matrix so complete Only my mind can set me free I don't know, you're playing tricks on me And the chaos that you bring you've got me down on my knees I'm clawing away at the stain that surrounds me
