Light - Periphery

In sunshine’s view

The absence of love

Behold what’s blinding you

Serpent or dove

Between uncertainty

Tethered wings and captive dreams aren’t worth the suffering

Open your eyes

Devotion deprived

Deny the very thing that you’ve accepted this life is about

Listen to my words

Defy devotion

Sick from the fall behind the wall

I demand of you stand up and see

Before they saw what I was becoming

Before it kept me from reaching…

The light

Can’t seem to understand it

Can’t seem to know

Listen to this vacant soul

The child has lost its way

Tension

Suffering the hole

Something against me

I won’t try

Never

Never again

I will not remember

Between the lines I sing with doubt

Behind this will fall

Lost in night and day

Breathing for me

Listen to the way I enter the world

In time this lie will become me

The things I’ve done to forget my dying senses

Weary from this act alone

In vain six days away

Return from the fall

Return to…

The light

Can’t seem to understand it

Can’t seem to know

Listen to this vacant soul

The child has lost its way

Just find a ray of light to help me ascend

That is the only way
