I raise my hand
To shield my eyes
Blocking both the moon and stars suspended in the sky
I raise my hand
To hide the light
Feeling something tugging at me just out of my sight
Flickering blue shadows pulling
Me somewhere the sun can’t follow
I raise my hand
A drowning man
Waving for a rescuer far off and on the land
I raise my hand
And I can’t stand
Stumble to the earth and slowly sink into the sand
Flickering blue shadows pulling
Me somewhere the sun can’t follow
(I’m dragged below into the earth
Darkness that encloses me without death or rebirth
Guttering blue figures stand and watch watch me
Struggling and judging me for things I should have done)
I can feel their fingers twisting
Sinking into skin
I feel them growing from my eyes
And threading tendrils deep within
I feel them worming through my thoughts
Corrupting everything they touch
I feel them slither like a snake around my heart
And in my guts and even now
I feel their fingers twisting
Sinking into skin
I feel them growing from my eyes
And threading tendrils deep within
I feel them worming through my thoughts
Corrupting everything they touch
I feel them slither like a snake around my heart
And in my guts until I wake

Wake up
Put on my coat
Breathe in the air
Wipe the ice off frozen windows
I am a ghost
Pen to paper, I write a note
Finding answers, asking questions
View the world through fractured lenses
And I write everything that I know
Filling papers and pages and tomes
But I buried it all in the snow
Somewhere down in the shadows below-oh-oh-oh
Wake up
Put on my coat
It’s the same routine that I’ve lived so long
I’m buried under twenty years of snow

Walk through streets
Down the snowy boulevard
I turn my gaze from those I meet
But I feel their eyes upon me
While they glance as if to say:
“Who is this stranger that we’ve known for years?”
I try to hurry
Gather up the things I need
So I can scurry
Like a rat back to its cage
But I feel them watching
Feel it like a noose around my neck
“Where are you going, why are you still here?”
That’s what I fear
Take me swiftly back to my home
Someplace quiet, someplace alone

Home again
I begin
I may not know the way to bend the world to every whim
At least in here I can pretend
The gentle chime of bells rings softly through the dusty air
I start, as I was lost in thought, and quickly take my chair
Delicate instruments all dance to currents drifting by
The leyline flows, an undertow, unseen by my unpracticed eye
In here the answers flow like water from a mountain stream
To wash away the past, draw cracks in walls that form between
A silver light to banish shadows to their frigid plane
Aetheric sanctuary, quiet and my own escape
I set aside my book
Let forth a silent sigh
I almost overlook the instrument upon my shelf
A glowing, guiding light
In here the answers flow like water from a mountain stream
To wash away the past, draw cracks in walls that form between
A silver light to banish shadows to their frigid plane
Aetheric sanctuary, quiet, calming
Yet I know;
Silver glow
Guiding Me
Where I must go
(ooh, ooh, ohh)

Leaving

I don my coat
I close my eyes
I swallow down all of the doubt I kept inside
For twenty years I’ve languished here
No reason to advance
And no excuses for escape
Was all I wanted just a chance?
I don my coat
I close my eyes
I swallow down all of the doubt I kept inside
In isolation I remained
But now it’s time to change
To venture out into the day
To journey south and meet my fate
But even now I hear the whisper when I close my eyes
“You can’t outrun your past, you shouldn’t even dare to try
You left your home, escaped alone, killed under darkened skies
The mark you bear upon your soul will be there til you die”
But still I go
I have to know
What have I found?
What waits for me?
