Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Phantom voices with no words to follow At the mercy of the cold and hollow I withdrew into my sanctuary of silence My defense In this moment I am just becoming Liberated from my cell of nothing No sensation there was only breathing Overcome oblivion Falling Awake From a walking sleep And all that remains Is the dying memory And now I can dive for These dreams I make Like I am Falling I am falling awake Waves of melodies once forgotten Like a symphony across the ocean Never knew that they could hear my calling Deep within Crashing in Rushing in Like falling Falling Awake From a walking sleep And all that remains Is the dying memory And now I can dive for These dreams I make Like I am Falling I am falling awake There is no returning to that emptiness, Loneliness The dream that lives inside of me Won't fade away, it's wide awake Falling Awake From a walking sleep And all that remains Is the dying memory And now I can dive for These dreams I make Like I am Falling I am falling awake
