Seven Years (Shine A Light On Me) Songtext
von Our Hollow, Our Home

The fear and the doubt, the fear and the doubt grow deeper again
This process is agony, to sever the ties and shatter the pretense
Is this the end? Is this the end of how I once lived?
It′s killing my family; addiction, it spreads like a cancer within me
Can there be more than this?
Am I really living a life if living a life is like this?
Or is it a lie? Forever a slave to this one tragic vice
Keep rolling the dice, but fate plays my hand, leaves me nothing but snake eyes

Take steps into the dark
And when you've lost your way, just shine a light on me

I watch the shadows dance around me
Like echoes of misery, they′re nothing more than history now
Just like my father said, when there's dark days ahead
I understand, just take my hand and shine your light on me
Just shine your light on me
Just shine your light on me

Just shine a light on me, oh


It's happened again
I promised myself I′d break free from this trend
But my consciousness wavers
Risking the bet without placing a wager
Torn between relapse and rapture
I′ll make my stand and descend to the depths
Of self-preservation buried deep in the landfill
Laid to waste with the wrath of my kin
I will be the remnant of transgression
So forgive me my sins

And take steps into the dark
And when you've lost your way, just shine your light on me

I watch the shadows dance around me
Like echoes of misery, they′re nothing more than history now
Just like my father said, when there's dark days ahead
I understand, just take my hand and shine your light on me
Just shine your light on me
Just shine your light on me

I promised you that I would be a better man
I′m taking steps to achieve the master plan
I swear I never meant to let my family down
I think I let you down
I promised you that I would be a better man
Took for granted the things that made me who I am
I swear I never meant to let my family down
I guess I let you down


I promised you that I would be a better man
Took for granted the things that made me who I am
I swear I never meant to let my family down
I guess I let you down
