Division
Angels & Agony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I scan for faces in the crowd
I search for wisdom in a madhouse
I seek freedom for an imprisoned mind
All I wanted in my life
Is now slipping through my fingers
Standing on the shore
It seems my sanity is fading
To a point of no return
I have come to realize
The one I fear is me
I want shelter in open field
I look for shadow in the sunlight
I dig for water in my desert
I search for stars in clouded skies
All I wanted in my life
Is now slipping through my fingers
Standing on the shore
I feel the water closing in
It seems my sanity is fading
To a point of no return
I have come to realize
The one I fear is me
