Holding On - Aking

The day stabbed my eyes through the blinds

A subtle omen to a discerning mind

Outside lightly frosted life

The dream had run away with me and left a part of you behind

The sky found weeping irresistible

And almost mockingly it fires at my window

It’s a moonless night

Easy come easy go

It’s too dark to close my eyes

Holding on to a breath in mid-air

I know what you want

But don’t know how to take you there

Holding on to a breath of mid-air

I’ll never be brave enough to keep you there

Pardon this polished approach

Tired and over-rehearsed

I am overcompensating for a mind gone slow

Time moves quick and unkind

I took mine easy though

The dream had run away with me and left a part of you behind
