It's halfway here
And we're all alone
Years shifting beneath my window
Where we've grown
There's nothing but cold, sullen air in between us
I lie here with nothing inside is where I'm found
There's no turning back to be saved by where I've grown
I try to move on, but the fear keeps me frozen
Always haunting me
Keeps on coming
Calling the dare in my hands
Something comes over me...
And it's amazing how things change
I don't see clear
But the end will be
Flames flicker in true celebration
While burning me
I faced all the demons that shaped my futility
I tried, but gained nothing while taking eternity
My delusions of grandeur amount to nothing here
I never have shined so I leave blackened embers
Always haunting me
Keeps on coming
Calling the dare in my hands
Last night
I dreamt that all the joy could fill my arms
Light surrounded me and I was warm
Vapor filled the air from what was born
And I felt life grow in me
I woke to feel my smile
And I knew that this I had to see
But the mirror was gone...
Waiting for the final release of the hammer
Floating on the same wave where nothing matters now
Just my silent release, or is it justice I'm after?
Any sign of reprieve has only been shattered
Always haunting me
Keeps on coming
Calling the dare in my hands to be wrested and
Something comes over me...
And it's amazing how things change
