Verse 1:
With eyes wide open, we stand in the light,
But the truth in the shadows escapes our sight.
Around us, the world spins, a kaleidoscope unseen,
We're prisoners of visions of what could have been.

Chorus:
Blind in the daylight, lost in the dream,
Our eyes see the world, but miss what it means.
Awake, yet dreaming, in the silence of the night,
We're searching for the dawn, but lost in the twilight.

Verse 2:
Through the forest of whispers, the secrets untold,
We walk with our stories, brave and bold.
Yet the essence of reality, like water, slips through,
Our grasp on the wind, our view askew.

Chorus:
Blind in the daylight, lost in the dream,
Our eyes see the world, but miss what it means.
Awake, yet dreaming, in the silence of the night,
We're searching for the dawn, but lost in the twilight.

Bridge:
Could a moment of clarity break the spell,
Pull us from the void, the silent well?
With a flicker of insight, a spark of the divine,
To see the world anew, a precious design.

Outro:
So we stand at the crossroads, with eyes open wide,
At the edge of awakening, with nowhere to hide.
In the depth of the darkness, a light to be found,
Our eyes finally open, to the beauty that abounds.

Blind in the Daylight

[Verse 1]
In the corners of the world, under every sky,
Lies a universal truth, no soul can deny.
A longing for comfort, in beliefs worn and warm,
A shelter from doubt, a refuge from the storm.

[Verse 2]
The logic of the heart, often defies the mind,
In the cozy embrace of the known, solace we find.
For who would trade, the certainty of day,
For the uncertain whispers, that lead us astray?

[Chorus]
Where is the world, untouched by this dance,
Where comfort in the known, doesn’t stand a chance?
Against the chilly winds, of the unknown, the new,
Where beliefs are questioned, and doubts cut through.

[Verse 3]
Yet in this comfort, a danger lies hidden,
In the shadows of the unchallenged, truths unbidden.
For growth lives, in the questions we fear,
In the embrace of uncertainty, clarity draws near.

[Chorus]
Still, the heart yearns, for the warm, well-worn path,
Away from the cold doubts, and logic’s wrath.
In the comfort of the known, we find our peace,
But is it in the unknown, our souls release?

[Outro]
So let us ponder, on this quest, this need,
For a belief so warm, in which our hearts feed.
And question if this comfort, holds us too tight,
In the well-worn paths, away from the light.

Illusion of Certainty

(Verse 1)
In the shadows of what's left behind,
Silent whispers of a tired mind,
Echoes fade into the night,
Broken dreams in the fading light.

(Pre-Chorus)
Hold on to the breath of the past,
But the moments never last,
Ashes swirl, the memories cast,
In the heart where they're amassed.

(Chorus)
From the ashes of yesterday,
I rise, I break away,
No more chains, I'm not afraid,
From the ashes, I'm remade.

(Verse 2)
Look through the ruins, piece by piece,
Finding strength in a quiet release,
Every tear that had to fall,
Now a fire, standing tall.

(Bridge)
Burning brighter, out of the dark,
Every spark a new start,
Reignite the inner part,
Yesterday's end is where we embark.

(Chorus)
From the ashes of yesterday,
I rise, I break away,
No more chains, I'm not afraid,
From the ashes, I'm remade.

(Outro)
In the silence after the blaze,
New horizons, eyes ablaze,
Yesterday’s ashes, today's stage,
New battles, new wars to wage.

Ashes Of Yesterday

(Intro)
In the heart of the struggle, we stand tall,
Through the chaos and the pain, we won’t fall.
Every wound, every scar tells a story,
Of battles fought, rising up to glory.

(Verse 1)
I've been knocked down, faced the fire,
In the depths of despair, where dreams expire.
But through the darkness, I found my light,
In the eye of the storm, I found my fight.

(Pre-Chorus)
The weight of the world on my shoulders,
But I won't break, I'm growing bolder.
Through every trial, through every tear,
I find my strength, I conquer fear.

(Chorus)
Against the storm, we rise, we stand,
With every challenge, we make our stand.
Through the fire, through the night,
We find our way, we see the light.

(Verse 2)
Voices of doubt, they try to break me,
Shadows of fear, they can't overtake me.
In the ruins, I find my ground,
In the silence, I hear the sound.

(Pre-Chorus)
The weight of the world on my shoulders,
But I won't break, I'm growing bolder.
Through every trial, through every tear,
I find my strength, I conquer fear.

(Chorus)
Against the storm, we rise, we stand,
With every challenge, we make our stand.
Through the fire, through the night,
We find our way, we see the light.

(Bridge)
In the depths of the darkest night,
We find our will, we find our might.
Through the pain, through the strife,
We fight for hope, we fight for life.

(Chorus)
Against the storm, we rise, we stand,
With every challenge, we make our stand.
Through the fire, through the night,
We find our way, we see the light.

(Outro)
In the heart of the struggle, we stand tall,
Through the chaos and the pain, we won’t fall.
Every wound, every scar tells a story,
Of battles fought, rising up to glory.

Against the storm, we rise, we stand,
With every challenge, we make our stand.
Through the fire, through the night,
We find our way, we see the light.
