The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It’s all my state of mind I can’t leave it all behind I have to stand up to be stronger [Chorus:] I have to try To break free From the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can say goodbye Have to make it right Have to fight ‘Cause I know in the end it’s worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades away It will be all right I know I should realize Time is precious It is worthwhile Despite how I feel inside Have to trust it’ll be alright Have to stand up to be stronger [Chorus] Oh, this night is too long Have no strength to go on No more pain I’m floating away Through the mist I see the face Of an angel, calls my name I remember you’re the reason I have to stay [Chorus]Rediscovering my love for Within Temptations. There was once a time that I thought hard metal/heavy rock was cool, so I went looking at Iron Maiden and Metallica. After damaging my ears for quite a bit (the effects of which I am bearing now) I ended up at Nightwish and Within Temptations, which has served as good meditation music thus far. For some reason, my brain seems to like the tempo and cadence of these songs. That, and the lyrics are often pretty emotive. I need to break free from the thoughts in my mind. I need someone to give me a reason to hold on.
