Earthbound

Savouring the dusk of dreams
The bittersweet evasion
of the pain of awakening
Oh why are those golden meadows
so enticing?
Yet I know that I must surrender
To the insomniac dawn
And I know
That I must return to the shell of
my earthbound spirit

Savouring the truth inside
The bittersweet evasion of the pain
of remembering
Oh why are those golden meadows
so enticing?

Frozen in time - a gift from above
Or just another moment closer
to the end
Another way to tear myself open
Where is home and who to believe?
Where's this road leading?
Is it just fate that I am thrown from
the depths of the Earth
to bare mountain tops?

And maybe I'm the fool
for taking my own path
Well I walk alone if I must
But maybe one day I'll find
my own golden meadows
amongst those words
I thought would fade in time
But now I know: they've become
what I am... and they'll just scream
and never leave me again
They'll be mine forever, unforgiven...
