The Agony and the Ecstasy - D.O.A.

What is happening to me

Don’t recognize these faces

I don’t know where I’ve been but I know that emptiness

I have felt it before

Thought I was turning a new page, new phase

These days I don’t know

I’m still stuck in a maze

Encased in my own mind

You’re pulling some of me out but half is left behind

The separation remains but in a moment so fleeting

We are meeting for the first time

Connected by the palm of our hands

And the agony and the ecstasy

Keeps me waiting

My body is breaking

The agony and your empathy

Wait for me whilst I am gone

It won’t be long

I don’t know who you are but I know I should remember

My anger grips to the chair

The fog is drowning me

But suddenly there is light

The revelation’s elating, bracing, frightening all at once

We don’t have long, just long enough to hold you

Until the shadows return and take the rest of me

But for this moment, I’m here

And I remember you greatly, fiercely

You and me are one

Connected by a love that won’t die

And the agony and the ecstasy

Keeps me waiting

My body is breaking

The agony and your empathy

Wait for me whilst I am gone

It won’t be long
