Expectancy, Pt. 1 (Desert in My Soul)

I’m opening my eyes, removing dirt that blinds me.
It’s now so crystal clear, the innocence has faded, the despair comes.
Burning… in the flame of fear.
Shocked… by the real world.
The burden deep inside of me
Is growing up and tearing me off.
The pointless, perfect clarity has taken away my haven.
The childlike vision has vanished. No hope… my life stands to fall.
Waiting… for the sign to bring.
Weakness… I'm falling on my knees.
The past slowly drifts away,
Oh how I wish to stay… there!
I’m feeling something new inside of me.
It’s leaving a desert in my soul.
The face of nothing now I see,
It’s burying my expectancy.
And now I am sinking in despair… sinking in despair.
I’m feeling something new inside of me.
It’s leaving a desert in my soul.
The face of nothing now I see,
It’s burying my expectancy.
This is another stage of growing up.
And things will never be the same again.
From day to day, year to year we live on, we’re getting older.
Time leaves no place for the slightest hope.
And now I am sinking in despair… sinking in despair.
