Something is wrong My strength has gone Thoughts are corrupting my mind I can see I perceive this ain’t me Something so strong My mood has swung I can’t get it out of my head I believe that my mind misleads me (We confuse) Is it a doubt you try to hide (Tangle and abuse) Just have an open look inside (We appear) It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind (Memory stuck in your mind) Retrieve your balance Use your senses to observe (The essence of silence) Search for essence Find the silence within you (The essence is…) You’re searching and bursting There seems to be no cure When tension endures Delusions corrupting my mind I can see I perceive this ain’t me There seems to be no way When light fades to grey To get them all out my head I believe that my mind misleads me (We confuse) Is it a doubt you try to hide (Tangle and abuse) Just have an open look inside (We appear) It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind (Memory stuck in your mind) Retrieve your balance Use your senses to observe (The essence of silence) Search for your essence Find the silence within you (The essence is…) Make a start Explore your heart When a persistent memory Penetrates deep in your mind Allow the silence to destroy Your thoughts in every kind (We confuse) Is it a doubt you try to hide (Tangle and abuse) Just have an open look inside (We appear) It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind (Memory stuck in your mind) Retrieve your balance Use your senses to observe (The essence of silence) Allow the silence To wipe your thoughts away Retrieve your balance Use your senses to observe (The essence of silence) Search for essence Find the silence within you (The essence lies IN SILENCE)
