The Light And Shade Of Things Lyrics - Theories Of Flight - Fates Warning

You confess a lot of things 

But you confess alone 

The absense of a person brings 

The burning question home 

The nights are long, they turn to days 

And sleep is not a friend 

The voices though you hear them sing 

Are only in your head 

And you have not begun to fight 

It slowly takes a toll 

The burden of the little thing 

Will never make you whole 

I understand that feeling of dread, you're used to it 

And thos empty promises are just the same 

When our time had come to end, it's over then 

It's over then, it's over 

The light and shade of things 

The light you held is gone 

And although people change 

I know it can't be far 

The light and shade of things 

And I can't understand 

How one is more important 

Than the other 

You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now 

I know that it's hard to find 

A heart that's there inside 

It's hard to find your heart now 

Forget falling down, forget all that you've been 

It's time to face those broken promises 

Oh, burn the past, this thing has to end 

I wish that it felt strange that you feel nothing 

The light and shade of things 

The light you held is gone 

And although people change 

I know it can't be far 

The light and shade of things 

And I can't understand 

How one is more important 

Than the other 

You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now 

I know that it's hard to find 

A heart that's there inside 

It's hard to find your heart now 

Some roads are empty 

Some roads just go on 

And though you may walk alone, my friend 

I know it won't be long 

It's not over, not over yet 

I know you can remember when 

You gave away you heart in your hand 

It's not over then, it's not over 

I know, your heart is there 

It's there inside
