Who knows how long I've stood here...
|
Or how many times.
|
I may wander, but I will return,
|
The same time each night.
|
For running water plays the score to this scene.
|
I stand and stare into the mirror.
|
This has become so familiar to me,
|
Because I no longer rest where I used to sleep.
|
A handful of water to cool your face
|
will be the only comfort you'll know.
|
So pick up your heart and run for your life.
|
To drain your body of all it's energy.
|
For heavy steps on a quiet path,
|
Is the sound of earning your rest.
|
(Clean)
|
Try to sleep
|
on the other side of the room.
|
Forget all the time you have lost
|
For it's the insight...that kills you.
|
This night will end,
|
Only to begin again.
|
And nothing will change until the change of the seasons
|
Many months away.
|
The night is long,
|
Exhausted I make my way home.
|
As the earliest of those begin their day,
|
I finally begin to sleep.
|
This strain that resolves in me,
|
Truly has come at a cost,
|
For the rain, that falls on me,
|
Was drawn, from the sea of immeasurable loss.
