about

Debut single release from ex- Metropolis front-man Chris Longman under the new project name of Chasing the Dark.

lyrics

Light splits the morning and colours the grey
Never a smile on my face
Endless combustion controlling the flow
These guiding rhythms are starting to slow

Progress for life
Each burning day brings you trouble and strife
Old life for me
Only a dream but it’s where I should be

I’ve been planning the day
Where I leave it all behind
I’ve been waiting for you
To change my mind, change my mind
And the path that I follow
Helps me get through the despair
I’ve been waiting for you
I need repair, need repair

Look in the mirror, the pane of disgrace
Watching the scars on my face
Recalling in pictures how I let you go
Careful your ribbon is starting to glow

Progress for life
Loneliness leads to the blade of a knife
New life for me
Changing the picture to where I should be

I’ve been waiting for you
To help me through this night
I’ve been waiting for you
You to be my light, be my light
As I pass through each day
I find it hard to fight
I’ve been waiting for you
Time to close my eyes, close my eyes
