Here's a moment And another and another and another; another Guess I'm still here What to do with this awareness? I still will to pay the price And I'm not alone in this, but I'm alone in here These tired, sunken eyes and labored breath Just superficial bubbles Sent gasping from a struggle down so deep A weight that I can't even see myself It's just another birthday I'm still drippin' wet I trade my mother's ocean For a nightmare's clammy residue Sweat on top of sweat The candles find the details Daylight never sees inside my room Hangin' by a thread of my own hair A single thread of my despair I stand impaled by it To this small plot of ground; I fully know I know it dangles there This sharpened edge slowly turns; I said I'd wait I'll wait beneath the karma hangin' overhead There's a dark-haired, fair-skinned gypsy Hiding sadness in a half-smile Letras de canciones'Cross the table turning pages; deciphering my fate She claims I was an old soul In a body born to find a way to leave From this world of fading flavor Grown impatient with illusion And I indulge myself Wallow in the safety of her eyes; brown eyes We both know where this leads Why give it voice? Why make her lie? So I just choose to keep my questions to myself Gone away; I won't invite myself Whatever's happening will happen Why should I hope or fear? Decayed old corpse; decoy life's harpies So the boy can slip away and escape The boy can slip away and escape If I could read the child a story Would she tell me one in turn? So we both might drift away to gentle sleep She'll wave goodbye to my devils I'll say "Goodnight, moon" Till angel fingers slowly, softly lower These reluctant lids Hand sinks down, down, down In a trance-like prophecy; goodnight nobody On an empty cryptic page; goodnight nobody And there I am again Impaled upon this small and empty page But now I know who this "Nobody" is And if this child can find me So well hidden; has it fallen? Am I already dead and risen? Safe to walk away Laugh at what I thought I was; smile at what I pray I am From Letras Mania
