Flos Chorum - (n.) Dancing Flower

Shut my eyes.

II.

When I was young I always saw the best of the world.

I saw the sun light up the rainbow,

How the stars were shining in the sky.

I was dancing in the middle of all chaos,

But all I heard was the music in my ears.

I sent love letters to strangers,

And threw paper planes

To the homeless.

But what do I see now?

All around me the rain is falling down like burning acid,

With no rainbow following.

There are no stars in the sky,

It's just darkness.

I think I dropped my headphones in the mud

And now everything's gone silent,

Except for the mocking of the wind,

And the lack of love in this world.

All I want to do is to shut my eyes

And see what i saw back then,

To relax a second and

Be gone.

But then who will show you the future?

Who will lead you to the right path?

"Well not me anyway", we all think

But deep down you know that's wrong

I will have to stand up some day.

But until that day,

I'll just take a moment

And shut

my

eyes.
