I am back - I never went away
All you've been - all you are today
The heart never rests, it heals and re-creates
The glass breaks to the old tunes
It never forgets

So, tune in to this old station
Of songs awakening dormant wide-eyed passions
And watch her come back, say look at me
We are one - we will always be

And I show this stranger her real name
And we talk in the rain
Washing out our pain...
And she shows me the path
In a meeting from above that goes beyond time

She is back, she crashes into my brain
She is dead - but I am not dead yet
And it was true - but I could hear something else
The distant voice - the scream - of the old self
Saying, showing:
"The wounds you carried
they beat below the stitches, but it's not the pain only,
it's the heartbeat of the living"

Everything is dying and eternal,
waiting to regenerate...
watch out for the demons
but speak to them first
