Kowai - Dissonance lyrics

Tracks
02. In Retrospect
We've been waiting all this time
Hoping for a different day
Still we do not make a sound
As moments pass us by
With our eyes growing cold
And our dreams, they're getting old
We lie awake remembering
All that's left to do
We're too young to die
Too old to be alive
Not enough to live
Too much for life
We surrender to demand
It's all that we have known
As it dawns upon our minds
We still stand alone
With our hearts growing cold
And our dreams, they're getting old
We lie awake remembering
All we failed to do
We're too young to die
Too old to be alive
Not enough to live
Too much for life
03. Fallen Behind
So far from here I can see the light pushing
Through the veil of grey mesmerizing me I've
Fallen behind and now my shadows are too
Dark to pick up the pace, I am astray
Surrounding me I am not alone anymore but
This is not where I belong
This void not as empty as I'd thought my
Fellow fallen ones a company of misery
Through the veil of gray I can barely see the
Outline of some distant destination
Surrounding me I am not alone anymore but
This is not where I belong
I, I've fallen behind And it seems I can't go any
Further, oh no
Surrounding me I am not alone anymore but
This is not where I belong
04. The Promise
Only in your eyes
Reflection of a need
I am good enough
When in my own
A slumber is born
To hide the sight of chance
In the dead of night
This sentiment finds home
And I deny myself
What I need most
Lies near to me still
Yet always out of reach
Leave me
Where I will wash away
Forget me
While I will fall behind
Of the promise
I once held
Now I see
A summer breeze to free me
That I took for a storm
Shields set up too high
A sudden urge
A forgotten sensation
A wish denied
A truth so far forsaken
Leave me
Where I will wash away
Forget me
While I will fall behind
Of the promise
I once held
The sorrow haunts me still
An image to defeat
Your words to keep me sane
All I never knew
My thoughts were never true
If only I could see like you
Promise me
Once again
Sew the seams
Cross the line
Promise me
Another dawn
For all my dreams
There's still time
Just promise me
And I'll believe you
Take my fear
Change my mind
Leave me
Where I will wash away
Forget me
While I will fall behind
Of the promise
I once held
05. Pride
Indulging again
Clinging to the dark
My dreams are all that I am
Lost in my own heart
Once more numbing
Once more succumbing
Find your pride
And leave behind
Salvation
Redemption
Still the same
Your last change
Lying again
Holding on to pain
A disregard for everything
Spreading like the blackest stain
Once more numbing
Once more succumbing
Find your pride
And leave behind
Salvation
Redemption
Still the same
Your last change
08. Undisgraced
So innocent I've been
Gazing at the world
With endless possibilities
A vision clouded
By another's bliss
I'm no longer who I was
And what I now behold
Merely drifting
Away from right
Away from reason
Once I was all of you
And you all could be me
My feet found my own path
Silently unknown
Safe and undisgraced
Still untouched by any testimony
I have been to where I shouldn't have
An echo of before
You made me wander
Looking for rest
And finding only chaos
So I wander evermore
In your shadow I was hidden
I hide
From all the pain
And all the shame you made me feel
From where I've been
And how I'll never fully heal
I hide
Once I was all of you
And you all could be me
My feet found my own path
Silently unknown
Safe and undisgraced
Still untouched by any testimony
