I stood in a puddle today,
felt the water soak into my clothes.
My skin drenched and cold
But it was glorious, freeing and slowed me.

I stopped to think for a second,
to hear the grunts and complaints
To simply take a moment
To realise just how oblivious I've been

To life and all it's beauty
When all I see is a sin
All I've asked for several days
Weeks or months
Is this life worth living?

Sorrow, I've felt so much sorrow
But when my foggy brain clears
I take a second to cry
I cry for all those years
When in a split second
It all comes to light
I see all the beauty I've missed
I see the world for what it is

I live to breathe
But what's the need
When the world is nothing
Means nothing to me

I was born for greatness
born for glory
I've spent my life
In heaves, just mourning

Life and loss
And love and hate
I was born for greatness
Born to be great

I've lost myself
In this grass, so green
Find life to be better
Than it seems

There was something in that moment
It sparked the light of day
Momentum built
And built and built
And suddenly a flame:

A flame of warmth and kindness
Or a flame to burn us down?
A flame is just a flame
We have power now.

I listened for an answer
The wind it whistled by,
I threw the fire in the air
Swallowed hole by sky

And I captured in the moment
Power is a myth
For the insecure and the incompetent

Here's the thing
Security was taken from my mind
Was I wrong? Always wrong
Don't ask me, I'm never right

I don't deserve,
I won't deserve
A full and happy life

Dancing free
wish I could be,
A world where I could strive

Of course even in disorder
I couldn't be right,
It had to be the lesser
I wasn't strong enough to fight

Hold my breath now
count to 10,
preferably 10 thousand
Close my eyes
Pray that I
Would awake in blissful heaven.

Dig a lot deeper
My shallow son
Under the surface, the skin, the lies
There's a lost soul, straying, on the run

Seeking out for something real
Something to release that fear

Haunted by the meandering, flickering thoughts
Hearts racing and pacing
Dare we speak it, we dare not

Outside the wind is blowing
Close the door behind you
Let's forget ourselves
Like there's no one else

The sun it starts descending
The days gone by
And I close my eyes
And picture coloured skies
Of a brighter day

In this thing called life

Under the bridge that holds us high
There's an anchor found
Holding someone down

The birds, they sing there lullabies
To ease the minds
Through the lonely nights

In this thing called life

Oh and when it rains
Dance your soul away
Cleanse yourself of sin
And wash away the pain

In this thing called life

Foggy and feared
Unclear what is there
Is there or near
What's to come, my dear

You foolish child
Loosing your way
Running wild
It's your path, you take

I watch in worry
Watch and cry
I can't but wonder
Why you lie

To me, to them
To you even
You're digging a grave
That you'll have to sit in
