I

When you close your eyes?
Tell me what do you see?
What’s sacred to us?
What do you see?

It’s over
for so many of us
The silence and resilience suggests
we’re dead in the water

Open your eyes
Tell me what do you see
What’s sacred to us?
What do you see?

Just like that, it’s over
for so many of us
We’re not alone here
A familiar face in the window.

II

I stare directly right into the sun
The blinding light might burn my eyes
“With all the headlights pointing at the dawn”
I can finally see the way outside
nothing stands between me & heaven’s door
I can finally see the way out

It’s no fairy tale
Loving you
Furthermore
We’re under the stars.

What if the world was at the end
I never got the chance to watch you grow
Compelled by the thing inside me I should’ve known
I’m leaving with my back against your door
Can we turn back the hands of time?

Maybe my life is at a dead end
Never got the nerve to give it a go
Compelled by the fear inside I should’ve known
It’s like reaching from the sky to the floor
to place it in somebody’s hands.

I spent long, long, long years
As I view my reflection in the mirror of time
I’ve dreaded all my young years
Staring at the starry night
I wanna lay in the light
I really hate it when you count me out.

4 of 7

If I let you i-n on my secret
How could I know that you wont sell me out?
In a monochrome vision
between tomorrow and now
If the world’s as big as you say
Then we can belong here & everywhere else

When its all said and done
Glad to have to met you
Extraordinary moment.

When you’re all alone in the garden
It helps to remember
there is no one like you.

6 of 7

I came up in the city
my hometown sickness
on an inbound mission
for holy remission
with my head on like swivel

I came up in the city
no hometown advantage
you don’t need a reason
to live out your purpose
With your head on like swivel

7 of 7

The wheel is turning
A journey I’m unconcerned with
So many highs but can’t touch the sky
The story is only unfolding
Traded in all this time
shrouded in ominous intention

The world keeps spinning
& love is willing
Under the light of the sun
we found no meaning.

II

Don’t turn away
cause the truth hides beneath the surface
Only time will tell what has happened here
of the remnants of our purpose.
