Nightingale - Echoes Of A Dream lyrics

There was something inside of him About to fall apart Drifted closer to the edge Couldn't still his bleeding heart All doors had closed on him The riddles would not solve Weakened, he just shut his eyes Let the darker side evolve and prevail Quickly and quietly he faded As he lost the strength to carry on It never seemed worth all pain He had fought in vain Inside the darkness he would stay The moment his soul turned cold and jaded And his will to live had died and gone The only way out came clear, had to disappear And lose the dead weight on the ground The echoes of a dream Was all that he would be His puzzled mind could never find A good reason for his time He realized too late We a**emble our own fate It's sad to say, so much easier To erase than to rewind A note that he left behind, it said "Nothing here is true This world was never meant for me But I'm sure I'll find mine too..." The absence within his mind Was present all the time The burden from a grain of sand Was too heavy to withstand The moment his soul turned cold and jaded And his will to live had died and gone The only way out came clear, had to disappear And lose the dead weight on the ground The echoes of a dream Was all that he would be His puzzled mind could never find A good reason for his time He realized too late We a**emble our own fate It's sad to say, so much easier To erase than to rewind Living came to a state Of merely staying alive The house of cards caved in A better deal next time
