Despite the Shell - Jolly

Standing here, where the waters concede with a bow to

Drying land, setting to a cube that’s faded through

But why, despite the rusted outer shell towering

I can’t look away

A new day’s sun and I’m awake

I breath in

Calmed by new chances I await, and I breathe it in

Starved and curious I stare in hunger, help me

Turn until you reveal what’s kept inside

Show the answers, shame the seven wonders

Help me believe

A new day’s sun and I’m awake

I breath in

All that I know changes shape, and I breathe it in

Holding hope, just like a child, alone

Searching, I’m begging, please turn around, I need you

Struggling, take me there, please turn around

I need you, know letting go, do what you will and

You turned around, now I see you

Armed with wings of light

The confort you cast over me

Then silence a beating heart

And eyes that you have opened wide

I climbed down from walls that I embraced, alone now

Tired now, closer, never looking back

Found calm in this saving grace, now hopeful

Listening closely, Never looking back

Standing where misguided reason led me to begin

Ever closer to the answers left at hand

Despite the vague attempt of my illi\\usions

I can look ahead
