The Pilot - Shinedown
Lyrics by：Brent Smith/Eric Bass/Dave Bassett
Produced by：Eric Bass
Behind these eyes is a wall you can't break through
Staggered seams and greenish glue
Afraid the prisoner might escape
Afraid of sounds that he might make
I'm not hiding it's just self-defense
I know it always don't make sense
So don't ask me why or where I went
It's just a place I go to avoid the present tense
I'm just glad I made it back
When the tide was low and the sun went black
Try to sleep maybe find some peace
Maybe God will even speak to me
Like an old friend in a dream
New advice to fight the enemy
Would that make me feel better
Or just miss you even more?
Waking up too early try to remember what I'm looking for
A flash of white or an orange glow
On the dock I swear I'm not alone
Takes a river of faith I pray I've got
Every ounce and every drop
I swear I'm stronger than I've let on
But the light feels dimmer since you're gone
I'm screaming to myself in silence
Stop the pain kill the violence
I wear the metal a heart of violet
I've got the wheel I am the pilot
Today's a battle but I'll win the war
The tide will turn I'll even up the score
I see pictures clearer than I have before
Write down all the names of everyone I'm fighting for
I'm fighting for
Today's a battle but I'll win the war
The tide will turn I'll even up the score
I see pictures clearer than I have before
Write down all the names of everyone I'm fighting for
I'm fighting for
