CastAway - What Shadows Portray Lyrics

Somebody cedes to retribution
Stiff in the gears of a losing game
What would be the price of absolution
If this was all we had
Years have been spent in isolation
Approaching the edge when walls fall down
Recalling the dreams of recreation
They died without a sound

Out of this darkened blend
Is there a point in the end
What can we possibly say
Even on carousel
Where every twist seems the same
You still can derail

How can we learn to endure the darkness
Right till the end that dismays the brave
When nothing in life will leave us doubtless
Is faith a key to pain
Do we hope against the grain

So in this void of light
You 're close to rest your head
Confide your deepest fears to dusk
But then you realize
You're scared of night itself
What if you kept your head held high

Out of this darkened blend
Is there a point in the end
What can we possibly say
Even a carousel
Where every twist seems the same
Still can derail
If the story's not what we meant
Can we ask to pretend
A plot that is moving and fair
Inside this darkened blend
There's always time to contend
What shadows portray

Stories keep unfolding
Nothing's for sure
Helpless yet relentless
We wait for the cure

Do you feel the same
Do you see this way
Imagine dawn after you've burnt your sun
Is it hard to breathe
Did you lose your creed
Before we drown one more wave's to come

When raining clouds obscure the sky
Can bigger picture lie
If we could ever see that far
Grasp more than meets the eye
