Hold the hands of time
Take the seconds, let’s rewind
They say “one stitch now saves nine”
I can’t steal what once was mine.
Taste these lips of pain
Fall in dark spirals of shame
Shallow be thy veins
Synthetic truth could keep us safe.
Where will I reside?
If hell turns around those ‘No Vacancy’ signs
How will I ever hold a light?
If heaven won’t help me.
Lay in sheets of dust
No these reptile tears won’t rust
A bed of nails was made for us
Just one sleep from self destruct
How can I be saved?
If you won’t look me in the face
As my pebbles wash away
Know that both hell and high water came
But I stayed and fought it all alone.
Where will I reside?
If hell turns around those ‘No Vacancy’ signs
How will I ever hold a light?
If heaven won’t help me.
What if all I can ever do is lie
In the arms of the memories,
Our fathers Who died.
To ensure I had a wonderful life
Heaven won’t help me.
