[male
vocals] (
Soft,
mournful
saxophone
weeping
in
the
distance) (
Gentle
organ
chords
swell
like
a
slow
tide) (
The
air
is
heavy,
the
silence
is
loud)
I
wake
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night
again
Sweat
on
my
skin,
staring
at
the
ceiling
fan
The
clock
is
ticking,
stealing
pieces
of
my
soul
I’
m
trying
to
survive,
but
I’
m
losing
all
control
They
say
life
is
a
gift,
but
it
feels
like
a
debt
I’
m
drowning
in
the
worry,
heavy
with
the
regret
I
see
the
shadows
moving
closer
to
the
door
I’
m
fighting
for
a
breath,
wanting
just
a
little
more
Oh,
the
fear
of
the
end
is
a
cold,
dark
hand
Slipping
through
the
fingers
like
the
shifting
sand
I’
m
struggling
to
live,
I’
m
shivering
in
the
light
Praying
for
the
dawn
while
I’
m
dying
in
the
night
Lord,
take
the
weight,
let
the
spirit
be
free
Is
this
the
end
of
the
road
for
a
man
like
me?
I
look
into
the
mirror
and
the
face
is
getting
old
The
stories
of
the
ancestors,
they
leave
me
in
the
cold
Is
it
death
that
I’
m
chasing
or
just
a
hollow
dream?
Everything
is
silent,
nothing
is
what
it
seems
I
try
to
find
the
rhythm
in
the
middle
of
the
pain
But
the
storm
is
coming
down
like
the
relentless
rain
My
heartbeat
is
a
drum
that’
s
losing
all
its
pace
I’
m
searching
for
a
reason
in
this
empty,
hollow
space
Oh,
the
fear
of
the
end
is
a
cold,
dark
hand
Slipping
through
the
fingers
like
the
shifting
sand
I’
m
struggling
to
live,
I’
m
shivering
in
the
light
Praying
for
the
dawn
while
I’
m
dying
in
the
night
Lord,
take
the
weight,
let
the
spirit
be
free
Is
this
the
end
of
the
road
for
a
man
like
me? (
Violin
melody
cries
with
piercing
sorrow)
Time
is
a
thief,
and
I’
m
catching
the
blame
Whispering
my
secrets,
forgetting
my
name
If
I
fall
today,
will
the
earth
even
know?
Will
the
river
keep
running?
Will
the
wind
keep
to
blow? (
Flute
solo,
light
and
fragile)
I’
m
just
a
vibration
in
a
world
full
of
ghosts
Raising
a
glass
to
the
things
I
fear
the
most
So
let
the
music
linger
in
the
hollow
of
my
chest
I’
m
looking
for
a
heaven,
I’
m
looking
for
a
rest
Every
heartbeat
is
a
struggle,
every
pulse
is
a
fight
Walking
through
the
valley,
praying
for
the
light
I
know
the
end
is
coming,
I
know
the
door
is
wide
But
I’
m
still
here
waiting
on
the
other
side
Oh,
the
fear
of
the
end
is
a
cold,
dark
hand
Slipping
through
the
fingers
like
the
shifting
sand
I’
m
struggling
to
live,
I’
m
shivering
in
the
light
Praying
for
the
dawn
while
I’
m
dying
in
the
night
Lord,
take
the
weight,
let
the
spirit
be
free
Is
this
the
end
of
the
road
for
a
man
like
me? (
Saxophone
fading
slowly)
Just
a
breath,
just
a
beat
Everything
is
quiet
Let
me
sleep
Let
me
be (
Music
fades
into
silence)
