It's as if we are dancing in an never ending waltz with the wind.
Constantly being turned and led, falling in love and falling apart in the same moment in time.
All the colors around us turning into a brilliant blaze of fiery autumn, setting the world in flames.
And when the dance comes to a final bow, we are left out in the cold.
Always wanting a home to belong to, yet only waiting to be swept away again.
The wind is a lover we all want, yet is cruel and heartless.
Taking us in only to throw us back out again.
Entranced by what we want life to be, yet deceived by the beauty of it all.  
The harsh reality of it all is that life is but a dance and when it ends,
we are forgotten.

Between the blurry lines
Of all that is and all that was
I stood in silence just because.

And as I grew to know the sound
The silence made
The world rebound.

Everything falls and turns away
An end of an era
But yet we stay.

The earth is quiet now
Calm before the plight
Get ready now
It's coming
The clock is signaling our final fight.
