So It Begins – Iremia lyrics

[Verse 1: Staton Roberts]
I'm in a state of mental panic
Relentless thoughts take hold of me
These possibilities seem so endless
Yet I'm frozen by anxiety

[Chorus: Parker Jarrett]
Restore the light
Cast off darkened countenance
Lift up your eyes
And soothe your troubled mind
And all that's trapped inside

[Verse 2: Staton Roberts]
Overwhelming and consuming
Draining me till I collapse from fright
Do your hands still guide me on this path I've taken?
Or do I stand alone, have I been forsaken?
Detrimental deprivation seeking to desensitize
Choking out the life from our dreams
No steps are taken, no progress made and I'm paralyzed
Searching for anything to gain momentum

[Chorus: Parker Jarrett and Staton Roberts]
Restore the light
Cast off darkened countenance
Lift up your eyes
And soothe your troubled mind
All that's trapped inside

[Bridge: Staton Roberts]
Will I find peace amidst this chaos?
Before I sleep beneath the waves?
Inexplicably, I feel the storm calm
As once again I meet your gaze

[Chorus: Parker Jarrett]
Restore the light
Cast off darkened countenance
Lift up your eyes
And soothe your troubled mind

[Outro: Staton Roberts]
With my eyes set firmly on you
I will never sink again
