Sometimes the lifeboat
Which our hope is tethered
Is but a floating feather
Blown in zephyrs
In the soaking weather

The mist and the smoke envelop
A mystery, a missed envelope
An unopened letter

Wrote instead of
Letting these emotions
Go through the motions, ever.
Hope came to cope,
A mechanism
Letting us get rid
Of the foreboding peril.

Say no to the Devil
To the toad in the hole,
That we know can control.
On a whole new level,
Mill wheel turning,
Fear will turn into cheer
Chilled, flowing in vessels

How long have we known each other?
Would you rather go alone instead of
Getting thrown together,
Ghostly
In a lonesome bed
I bet it goes through your head, huh?

If we won't keep our head up
And we don't keep ahead
Then, we'll recede to the seas
That are deep below these heavens,
Knees trembling

He sees us...

For a hesitant moment there,
I was froze in terror
With a phobic tremor
That stoic heroics
Never extinguish
Spoken in most elegance

Flash! Lightning, fires fade
Ash, rising, sky ablaze

Some of us die
And raise higher
Others just lie in wait
In a hiding place
With a fright
Eyes agape and gazing vacant
Waiting patiently
Aimless paced
To syncopated beats
We need to face
Things we hate to see,
Embrace the things we hate
To say we need,
And that's hard to do,
How can we start anew?
When it feels like
Just half-way through
The last chapter,
the last part,
and now we're starting two

But in my heart of hearts I knew
That this is what I've got to do
True. And when I'm at home
I'll never be alone with you
You tenderly approach
Your presence is a glow

Put a hand on my shoulder, friend
And hold me, hold me, hold me close
