A Darker Side of Me Lyrics by This Cold Life

Ascent of the Fallen

2012

[Verse]
I've become
A simple man in a complex cage
A mind that slipped away
Slipped away
In this place
Time ticks without a trace
Try and catch
The grains as they fall
As they fall
[Chorus]
Keep the light at bay
(Darkness lie to me)
I don't want to see the mirrors face
Hold my eyes awake
(Focus all my strength)
To watch the pillars coming down
[Verse]
Silence overwhelms
Even the hopeless thoughts
Won't scream my name
Scream my name
Stand aside
Let me find
All the sand
And fill back this hourglass
Let me try again
[Chorus]
Keep the light at bay
(Darkness lie to me)
I don't want to see the mirrors face
Hold my eyes awake
(Focus all my strength)
To watch the pillars coming down
[Bridge]
My reflection is not
The one I know
Filter connection to
The darker side of me
[Chorus]
Keep the light at bay
(Darkness tell me lies)
I don't want to see the mirrors face
Hold my eyes awake
(Focus all my strength)
And watch the pillars as they fall
