The Parallel

from In The Night by Gabriel Koenig

/

lyrics

In the night, I let the strange ones in
And it's alright, cause we don't know any sin
We tread light, on a world that's so thin
All I know, is anything could begin

But all I do, well it doesn't matter
How can I care, when everything could shatter
With all these inconsistencies, I've got a tendency to waver
I can't deny anxieties, but none will ever lend me a favour

We're flying up, I lose my sense in the dust
I'm digging now, trying to break through the crust
We have no choice, everything is a must
There's no side, there's no guide, there's no stride I can trust

In reflections, I think I see someone else
Then I realize, I don't recognize myself
With all these inconsistencies, I've got a tendency to stumble
I pull myself together but, everything is all still a jumble

When you open your eyes I can tell you've been dreaming
A little light in your head, it keeps on gleaming
When you open your eyes I can tell you've been dreaming
Cause when you close your eyes you can't hear the screaming

I give in, to anything that I can
But these feelings, won't take me by the hand
A single doubt, it unravels the land
And nothing goes, anything like we've planned

And all I do, well it doesn't matter
How could I care, when everything will shatter
With all these inconsistencies, I've got a tendency to wallow
And all the more I do means the more I end up feeling hollow
