There Was A Time Lyrics by From Inside

The New Era

2017

Open your eyes
Can’t you see your foundations are weak
Your conscience fought a good fight
‘Til the light left your eyes
You were gone

Open your eyes
Walk into the light
Out of darkness break free from the night

I’m watching and waiting
I’m constantly bound
By the thought of you changing, until
You’ll never be found

I know it hurts
You must be scared
This fight or flight life, we can’t comprehend
Don’t be defeated, worn and lost
Seeking solace at the end

These painful thoughts will fill my mind
Corrupted dreams from a better life
I remember there was once a time
(THERE WAS A TIME)
When you were whole and not broken inside

Don’t be a slave
It’s time to make a change
Break off the fucking handcuffs
You’re no beast in a cage
How far would you go just to numb the pain
Another knife in your back just to feel something

Conversations with yourself in the mirror
As you watch yourself get thinner and thinner
You know yourself and that you’ll fall apart
Please listen to me, I am all that you’ve got

You’re not destined to suffer
Just take my hand it will be okay
And as the current is pulling you under
It feels like we’ll always be drifting away

These painful thoughts will fill my mind
Corrupted dreams from a better life
I remember there was once a time
(THERE WAS A TIME)
When you were whole and not broken inside
X2

All our signals are lost
No ones gonna find us
All our signals are lost
Out in the vacuum of space and time
But no one’s gonna save me from you
Or what you have done
Open Your Eyes

How long must I live this way
I’m turning into everything I hate
And how much longer must I exist
Before I’m drowning in the darkness that started this
How long must I live this way
I’m turning into everything I hate
And how much longer must I exist
Before I’m drowning in the darkness that brought this all to me
