I stand at the top of the line
Not waiting long it's a trick of the mind
My soul is still my body's cracked at the spine
I see the air of the birds, it moves slower than time
You watch my life unwind
No designs are drawn from me
Stepping gently round this fear that's me
I confess to shaping this imagined disease
Please set my hand within reach
You can't touch my face
It's a tease, just like me
Don't take light my inner doubts
There's a blackness all around
What are these years all about?
Grave and cradle common plight
So deadly common, wonder why
Why do these tears run my life?
The battle ends but you hear a war in your mind
Not good or evil, just some fracture that history winds
The soul is able, yet the body declines
To take the mantle of a life with a heavenly shine
Please don't watch my life unwind
Try to find a fantasy
Entertain a fool with a laughter that's free
Was I invited or am I deceived?
It's just a parting gift as you leave,as you leave
Don't take light my inner doubts
There's a blackness all around
What are these years all about?
Grave and cradle common plight
So deadly common, wonder why
Why do these fears run my life? My life?
