The Man Above The Boy Within

Soul and Spirit

Soul and Spirit, dreams and nightmares,
I've been laid in a crypt with no peace,
My mysteries unravel, quite complex,
An intricate weave of emotions held taut by my fragile will,
I hide in the branches of my favorite trees,
Singing to the cicadas and fireflies,
My soul keeps sitting on more racks,
All I ever want are serene moments.
But I'm stuck in a rut.

Soul and Spirit, dreams and nightmares,
My soul and Spirit are trapped and I want to open the lock,
I've got eyes in the back of my soul,
And I keep falling to my knees,
I wish I didn't have to play with my peace of mind,
Help me, I'm exhausted with my role,
Help me regenerate my wounded soul and spirit,
I can't erase my pain and my spirit can't soothe my sores,
The distance between my soul and my spirit is gradually growing.

Soul and Spirit, dreams and nightmares,
I've been hurting badly I've had to create my own world,
One that doesn't exist but I survive in there,
I put my hand to my chest
And I feel a thousand jangling beats,
Every loss, every ache, every longing,
Fighting for space, gasping for air,
Filling my veins with these words that flow,
Throughout my body into my bones.

Soul and Spirit, dreams and nightmares,
I tie my shoelace and keep waving old demons,
Having a karaoke to this obscure song,
I don't wake up in the morning,
I only fall asleep, into this reality,
The dark skies look brighter in my eyes,
A head full of ghosts, a ladened heart,
Echoes in my soul, shadows in my spirits.
