Sleeplessness comes easily
Like an old friend
Never quite forgotten

I can’t shake these old memories
Comparisons of past and present
Even if it’s nothing the same
I still look for the link

Can it be true?
What the Chinese say?

Are we really all linked to
A lover through a single Red Thread?
And are we sure it won’t ever break?

Or is that our souls silently begging
For some kind of reprieve from this dark world

This place of hatred.

They said the world was supposed to end
That fateful day in December,
12. 21. 12.

But here’s the thing
I think the world isn't going to end all at once,
and really
it has already begun

Humanity is slowly falling

We may still be humans, but without compassion
Without care,
We lose the single thing that has put us on top of the food chain

And what can we hope for
Other than to find some sweet light
In this dark house
We're all searching for that single flickering candle

In the upstairs window

These images float through my head,
Things that never quite make sense
Like why is it called falling in love?
Falling just sounds painful
And isn’t love supposed to be beautiful?
Or do all beautiful things just hurt?

Like a red rose,
Whose thorns will ***** without mercy

Lighting that breaks across the sky
To burn down a tree

Or a mother bear,
So protective over her cubs that her own life is of not a single
Thought.

This world is a dark place,
But there are millions of candles
Millions of lights
For those willing to look.

And maybe the Chinese were wrong
For a man did a study
And it showed in 34 minutes someone could fall in love

34 minutes doesn’t seem long enough.

At least, it never did until I met you.
It didn’t even take that long.
I heard your laugh and was gone.

So really, what can we believe?

Is it chance?
Fate?
Destiny?

Or is this world just one big question mark?
Will we ever understand,
Or are we destined to be in the dark?
