Avalanche

The lines are clear with tomorrow standing against me
 And I am silent as I face my fears alone
 Responsibility weighing down upon my shoulders
 When all that I needed in a heartbeat is taken from me
 The truth is unclear if you close your eyes too tightly
 What dream is life spun like silver to the night
 Don't wake me up and do not let me go
 And if the world falls from the sky
 Shall we like the atlas rise
 If time collapses to this end
 Beneath the avalanche
 With love like pages stripped away
 My heart must find another way
 Courage comes from circumstance
 Beneath the avalanche
 And I fear the sky is falling
 It's the price we pay if we act with our convictions
 But the faces I see still believe me too naive
 We are not lost or forgotten to our conscience
 When all that we need for survival we carry inside
 I will not fall before you
 I will not grovel at your feet
 I will not let you crush me
 My will is stronger than you think
