In the water, I open my eyes
Clarity that stings
My reflection in the pond:
A hollow voice that sings
Who is this stranger? Why do they stare?
I lay awake in bed
Dissipating thoughts in pools of blue
Dripping from my head
Then the weather starts to change
In roll the fog and moon
The clouds prepare to give their tears
My time is coming soon
This is my second nature
My buried home, my lighter side
My naivety and company
No longer must I hide
This moment is my clarity
I've waited for so long
I've watched the seasons come and go
I've heard their parting song
Gentle grey surrounding me
The raindrops flood my eyes
I can finally observe
And look up at the sky
It's dark and dull, oh finally!
I thank my midnight prayer
That fiery orb is dead and gone
Only my moon is there
I can be the ballerina
Torn skirt and bleeding feet
I can sing and dance along
Get swallowed by the beat
I see just how alone I was
My real home too far
Away from me, I finally see
How silly are my scars
I know this is my happy end
It's my discovery
A change of heart a change of mind
My own lobotomy
Thank you for this final gift
A box of might and will
Things are finally shaping up
But what's that on the hill?
The sun is rising, oh god no!
Please anyone, please help!
It does not warm my fragile skin
It boils and burns and melts
Won't someone save me from this fate
I've lost my eyes again
I see the corpses on the floor
I see the stomping men
With guns and boots and majesty
They're tearing through my home
They whisper venom in my ear
I really should have known
Desperately I steal a breathe
It's not fair, it's not right
And stumbling, I choke back sobs
My lost angelic night
Come back I'm begging on my knees
I'm trying to keep my head
But my icy savior swims away
My newfound vision's dead
The forests fill with bitter flame
And angry turn the seas
In the end I'm so sorry
I could not save the trees.
