The Inner Darkness

You used to dwell in the red chair
 Your dark eyes staring at the four of us
 A velvet shelter from the world
 A throne to emphasize your genius
 The chill of november
 The coldness of your voice
 Too loud to be noticed
 Too deaf to have a choice
 It's a mystery, a tragedy
 A part of you apparently unknown
 To the ones that played your symphonies
 A virtual reality
 Hidden from the world outside your head
 You just kept the inner darkness to yourself
 You used to occupy the stage
 Your dark eyes staring at the audience
 The chill of november
 The will inside of you
 Too blinded to find it
 Too deaf to have a clue
 It's a mystery, a tragedy
 A part of you apparently unknown
 To the ones that played your symphonies
 A fictional reality
 Hidden from the world outside your head
 You just kept the inner darkness to yourself
 Remember the days we spent in the shed
 Writing like hell in our little heaven
 Finding the words to the chords flying by
 Melodies came, overwhelming
 Remember the nights we spent on the road
 Driving back home, promising we would
 Leave the rat race to the rats
 Memories stay, neverending
 And so the more we have to change
 The more we realise
 The more we dream
 The more we stay awake
 And so the more we face the truth
 The more we fear to lie
 The more we die
 The more we stay alive
 Remember the future we wanted to hold
 A slippery thief nearly took it away
 Who would have thought, the last time we talked
 We'd be standing right here today
 And so the more we have to change
 The more we realise
 The more we dream
 The more we stay awake
 And so the more we face the truth
 The more we fear to lie
 The more we die
 The more we stay alive
 So here we are, the start of our new destiny
 A picture of the world that yet awaits
 And now we're changing to a world of perfect symmetry
 Connected to our fate and liberty
 It's a mystery, a tragedy
 A part of you eventually known
 To the ones that shared your victories
 Trapped in future history
 Hidden from the world outside your head
 You just locked the inner darkness in
 So here we are, the start of our new destiny
 A picture of the world that yet awaits
 Changing to a state of perfect symmetry
 Connected to our fate and liberty
 It's a matter of persistence
 Just a matter of belief
 In this state of liberation
 We accept the invitation to the feast
