It is dark
Dark and late
late and I wait and wait
for you to come back
Were just here an hour ago
Where have you gone?
Why did you leave me alone?
All burdens, dirty and annoying
Habits put the mind in captivity
The body follows instinctively
But where does the mind lead to
where would you go, if you could let it all go
if you wouldn’t need to know, or do
What you thought, you had to do
Silence waitin', a distant thunder roars
Echoes, wall to wall
Hall to hall
Makes hell appear real
please, someone
help me out of here
Sitting in the cold, until you grow old
Is better together,
liked that one red sweater
And when in your hair
you wore a feather
Wrapped in cotton, somehow I’ve forgotten
that the thought of you here
Is but a sheer idea
Begotten by my mind, in a brief moment of time
thinking about you mine, feels good, can’t deny
But I also know, that you are you
And that minutes sometimes
Can feel like lifetimes
My mind played tricks that night
Of course, as always
I find out in hindsight
For how long you keep your pokerface
Depends on you and
how long you are willing to play
Wether you stay and lose it all
or get going and at least keep your clothes
No compelling reason, by no means
Of why I shouldn’t be telling
The truth to you, or to me
If it gets us forward, and not get stuck
escape the rut, I might make a try
Risking eating a piece of the pie
Swivel back, the mind is hacked
Or has it been cleaned
I can’t tell these days anymore
I’ll just let it be
take my self on the side,
only to have something to say
For when our paths may cross, hopefully
some other day
