I've looked at my own palms And seen the lines of this life fading Fire, water, earth All getting swallowed by the air I've turned to love for grace But she spat sympathies unholy Success is but a sunset When there's no soul with it to share I've fallen to the ground and begged The moon to give me courage Yet that mystic orb just waned And left me naked like a child I've searched the maze for truth Ground my teeth upon the logic But once I left the cave for light My place was lost among the wild

Success is but a Sunrise
I've looked at my own palms And seen the lines of this life fading Fire, water, earth All getting swallowed by the air I've turned to love for grace But she spat sympathies unholy Success is but a sunset When there's no soul with it to share I've fallen to the ground and begged The moon to give me courage Yet that mystic orb just waned And left me naked like a child I've searched the maze for truth Ground my teeth upon the logic But once I left the cave for light My place was lost among the wild
