Wander with sunshine, claw through the night
Tangled in chaos. Demons in sight
Trapped in a memory, nauseous with doubt
Every layer we lift, every moment without
A sorrow or smile. The empty inside
The reasons for seeking; the reasons to hide.
Your freedom’s my prison. My throat in a knot
Choking on waves in an ocean forgot
Burning and bleeding; the scars of the past
Swallow the panic. Sleeping at last.
The child within
Star light star bright
I wish away this pain tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Take your wish and end my fight.
The whispering poison. Skin crawling with fear
Scream into silence, for all silence to hear
A shame and a horror; so many have seen
Foreign and faceless; the parts where you’ve been
Fall into blackness, follow the cast
Innocence stolen. Sleeping at last.
Sail into shadows, slide into the space
Surrender to drowning, drift into grace
Dance into terror, dive into its eyes
Transform into night, let my soul gently rise.
No name for courage, no words to say
A beckoning teardrop; please take me away
Crescendo.
Reprieve.
A moment of light
The thread of eternal that’s hidden from sight.
The sirens will cease, don’t mourn what has passed
Embodying darkness. Sleeping at last.
