On Facing Outwards Lyrics


The nights that we have slept are as if they had never been.

You just close your eyes and open them as light goes up

with nothing in between.

The only ones in our memory

are those we had spent without sleep,

those we‘d spent looking inwards profoundly.

Standing on a crossroads we have to decide what is right:

Blissfully – close your eyes and look for soothing light

Or

Truthfully – face yourself and seize the endless night.

While seizing the night at first does sound quite fair,

seeing oneself with one's eyes can bring despair.

There’s no such nudity

as looking inwards to your mirror

and you’ll never accept the furor

of confronting self-adversity.

INTROSPECTION HATES SERENITY!

If you’re the question asked of life

you can’t look in

expecting answering.

These questions indeed are driven by loneliness,

but introspection had never brought this promised happiness.

INTROSPECTION IS THE ENEMY OF HAPPINESS!

This is the lesson on facing outwards!

You can’t battle what you cannot see,

your perception is not reality.

Face outwards and outmonster

the reflection showing monstrosity.
