In the Dark

In the Dark - Enchant

Some nights I lie in forced awakeness

My thoughts won't let me go

A sleep like death has claimed the world outside

The silence reshapes my solitude

From a refuge to a prison

Distractionless nowhere to hide

Aloneness holds the mirror

I see things I just can't work through

Some things you'll never shine any light into

Like how to read what will be

From what has been

Like what's in store for me and you

I wonder what my life will be

What lies ahead for the people close to me

How can I make my peace with uncertainty

In a sea of risk swim with serenity

Some nights my thoughts drag me to a cold cold place

The dark side of mortality

Who will be the next to go their light blown out forever

In that merciless finality

Lives are running novels at times you read

At times you write

The choice of which to do might keep you awake at night

Should I just accept or act against this pressing moment

Should I run for cover or stand and fight

I wonder what my life will be

A public failure or success in obscurity

How can I make my peace with uncertainty

In a sea of risk swim with serenity

I wonder what my life will be

What lies ahead for you and me

Can I make my peace with uncertainty

I wonder what my life will be I wonder

I wonder

I wonder
