Lifting the Veil
Luke Lotus
I've been feeling low for way too long
Like a broken record hums the same old song
Got shadows in my mind where light once gleamed
Lost in a maze of dreamless dreams
I walk the city's streets all ghosted grey
Searching for a color in the day
The rain keeps falling but it doesn't cleanse
Just adds to the weight of blurry lens
But I know there's a spark in my heart somewhere
A hidden ember burning clear and rare
A twist of fate or a friendly hand
Can lift my spirit help me stand
In the mirror see a face I hardly know
A stranger wearing my old glow
Tired eyes behind a flimsy mask
Caught in a spell I need to break at last
But even shadows fade when night gives in
And hope's a whisper growing deep within
I won't be bound by these heavy chains
I'll find the Sun beneath the rains
Cause I know there's a spark in my heart somewhere
A hidden ember burning clear and rare
A twist of fate or a friendly hand
Can lift my spirit help me stand
