Horizontal Ascension - The Shadowlands

“The Shadowlands,” simply put, is a song of loneliness and isolation.
We all feel alone at times. Even in the middle of a crowd.

if you find an open door – it leads you where you were before
sink like a stone beneath the wave – struggle on till you reach your grave
hanging by a single strand
life is a reflection of a tattered soul
running blind, have no plan, time is slipping through my hand
nowhere for me to stand, living here in shadow land
it’s all an illusion, just a scattered dream
can’t escape, no one can, we all end up where we began
hanging by a single strand
living here in shadow land
the space that you see is the distance between you and me
the void that you feel is too real but you don’t believe what you see
never see in the night – hidden from every light
catch a glimpse now and then it begins, then it ends
like a wheel spinning round – always lost, never found
all you lose, all you gain – all a part of the game
find a way, make your peace – feel the tension, then release
another storm to withstand – living here in shadowland
if you find an open door – it leads you where you were before
sink like a stone beneath the wave – struggle on till we reach the grave
the space that you see is the distance between you and me
the void that you feel is all too real, but you don’t believe what you see
living in shadows
