Soft light falls where shadows stay
The night hums low, the world drifts gray
I breathe in silence, slow and thin
And let the quiet pull me in
And once again
I'm all alone
To feel more pain
I have not known
And wonder why
It has to be
That though I try
I cannot see
The answers blur, the edges bend
I search for truth that never ends
I’m standing still while time moves on
A fragile heart, a fading song
I reach for peace, but lose my way
Still hoping I’ll be okay
An end to all
The things gone bad
That still befall
And make me sad.
What did I do
I feel perplexed
What will ensue
And happen next
Each step I take feels unsure
Every wound I still endure
I’m standing still while time moves on
Trying to stay where I belong
I chase the light I barely see
Still hoping it remembers me
Yet though my mind
Will always know
That I may find
The truth will show
That in the end
It mattered not
I did pretend
That I had got
Some answers fade before they land
Some truths just slip right through our hands
I hold the ache, I let it stay
It’s part of who I am today
An answer to
The things unknown
And still I knew
I would condone
But wonder why
It has to be
that though I try
I’m blind to see
I’m standing still, the world moves on
A quiet ache I lean upon.
If meaning comes, it comes too late
But still I wait… Still I wait
Why I am here
The night is clear
I breathe it in
And disappear
