Sleepwalking Into Death
From a distance
It is hard to watch you
Ruled by the forces of
Self-destruction
From afar I have tried
To illuminate your sky
However
I can’t change this tide
I should let go
I can’t control
Because you will go down
Sleepwalking into death
Slowly I take my distance
You disrupted my surface
Leaving behind
Dark traces
Oblivious of the effect
That you have
I will have to pay
For your mistakes
I should let go
I can’t control
Because you will go down
Sleepwalking into death
Sleepwalking into death

Like a Ghost

Like a ghost
Once again I’m on the floor
I keep on losing it
Having to say goodbye
Oh how I long to be sound
Through the grey mist I observe
For others it seems so effortless
Despite all my attempts to cope
I don’t get past the stage of surviving
Like a ghost
Step out of the rushing river.
Sit quietly and let it pass.
Moving to the rhythm of my own
I try to keep my balance
The fog rises and I control
Intoxicated I tumble over
It seems that I don’t know how to live
On and on I move my body through the motions
Like a ghost
Step out of the rushing river
Sit quietly and let it pass
Moving to the rhythm of my own
I try to keep my balance
Give over to the raging winds
Be still and bend to it’s course
Moving to the rhythm of my own
I try to keep my balance
Tired of fighting these storms
For still waters I pray
To lay myself to rest
Like a ghost

New Moon

New moon
Bewildered I stare
At the pitch black night
You capture me
With your light
Pull my body
To your side
Gently the ground
Shifts beneath my feet
While I wait for you
To show
Yourself in full sigh
tI surrender to the night
As I turn you slow down
While I spin faster than ever before
Oh I’m under the spell
Of your gravity
Quietly you rock
Me side to side
While I draw you close
I reveal
Myself in full sight
You give over to the night
As I turn you slow down
While I spin faster than ever before
Oh I’m under the spell
Of your gravity
While I change I’m circling further
But you keep dragging me near
I will collapse under the weight
Of your gravity
Pulling me
Oh how I long
For it to stay this way
But with every cycle
There will be an end
As we both change
I follow your tide
When you circle around
In the lonely hours at night
You are with me in the dark

I Let Go
03:04

|
Slowly I let go
Veering wildly
It’s growing larger
Frantically I battle
As it gusts around me
Further down I’m sinking
And when the second blow hits
It pulls me under
Holding my breath
My blood stops to flow
The colors fade
Slowly I let go
You’re going to die
Going to die
Fighting
You’re making it worse
Making it worse
Trying
Holding my breath
My blood stops to flow
The colors fade
Slowly I let go

The fire didn’t survive the storm
The fire didn’t survive the storm
It died with the wind with the snow
I tried everything to keep it going
But in the end I had to withdraw
I cradled it into my arms
But it burned right through my skin
I tried to shelter it in a cave
But the frost seeped through the stone
The cold froze my eyes chilled my bones
I had to let go
I’ve held on too this book for too long
And I analyzed all the words
My nails are dug into it’s cover
My fingers bleeding in it’s grip
It’s too worn out to reminisce
I should
The fire didn’t survive the storm
It died with the wind with the snow
I tried everything to keep it going
But in the end I had to
The fire didn’t survive the storm
And I choked on it’s ashes for to long
I tried everything to keep it going
But in the end I had to
Let go
