lyrics

The light was a blinding white an entire sense of purity. This Childs path a stone road of glistening gold to dig up and hold, but our hands must become dirty first. And on this path I walk to learn as I carry the stones behind me and as the piles grow and as time slows, the weight is only uprising. So I let go, I let go of my tensions, I let go of all my life lessons. Now a mountain left glistening in the distance behind me, yet so far ahead... I’m at the start again. So as I walk numb and weightless and on my way to my own ending, I threw away all those life lessons I learnt to cope with anything. As seconds lay wasted, I’ve wandered now lost, now lost within a cave. Blackened sound echoes within me, blind and trying to hide from the unseen, yet am I unseen too? Am I safe in this miserable place? As illusions of light alight as I blink, I hope it’s a crack in the ceiling, an easy escape that’s all so deceiving. And in the dark I lay and wait to see if the sun is rising, so as time loses its flow and so the day goes I might as well be... ageless due to an absence, of well I just don’t quite know.. It’s a pleasant absence now naive in such bliss, to process such a thought shallow in black and white blurry mist. Well I do know there was something I missed and I do know that I could find the exit, but to make the effort? Well I’m so unfit. With one hand ahead to feel a cold stone help guide a way, as the rain came it made a trickle of possible escape. And piece by piece remove the walls as rain is now flooding in, it’s the outside where finally breathe is awakening. But I’ve wandered into a sea of storm clouds possibly never ending. The night stay still, but the clouds up high are soaring, for they must weep and spread their sadness. For minutes all beauty flooded away as we were soaked in misery, we were drenched in misery. Traveler: “Your cries were heard, your worries are unwanted, just let me live and live without grief!” Oh, what cry the sky ceased.. Sky: “This dismay, this sadness, this feeling... I’ll keep locked away.” And fade, into nothing it left, it left with its dismay. “It’s okay, because I know that wanting to die is an unexplainable pain."
