Life Less Explained (Through The Door)

The cold, endless towards its embrace that caught me,
The light, following me insanely until I see all the dark
The moments, frozen in Time, but I think I told him again and again
How fragile this life can be, oh Time – listen to me
You’re not near this soft edge of forlorn memories, you’re here close to me
As it comforts the outrunning silence that made you here stand still
Hold my hand, and lead me again and again through this forest of seconds
Made out of hours – I am your passing memory, Time
Kill the bleeding storm which is cutting through the veins of repulsion
Wear the only shade of perfection when it’s imperfect in this light
Keep me from falling, keep me at a distance but won’t you see me
Oh Time, listen to me, I’ve seen more than you’d open your eyes for
Let me unlock this moment for you at the door you hold

And through life less explained in the light you caught before,
It’ll all make sense through the thorns of the shattered past

The warmth, cutting through my melting skin and forming desire
The dark, facing me as a haunting enemy through the memories undone
The truth, wrapped around in Time and messed up the solid floors of illusions
Shallow memories unlock their ways towards the passing day and night,
As I listen through the storm I yell at him he shouldn’t be counting the stars
The light captured in the endless dark won’t tell you where to stay, Time
Close your eyes and feed my heart on the sandy storm of your hours
Made out of seconds – I am your passing memory, Time
Silence the only word left to say and turn it into a frozen kiss
Empty your eyes from the reflection of your dreams and break them for me
Kill the lines amongst the legends of unreality and form the illusion
Oh Time, listen to me, I’ve told you more than you’d ever heard of
Let me unlock this moment for you at the door you hold

And through life less explained in the dark you caught before,
It’ll all follow the same remarks on your notes of this shattered past

As Time fell softly on the floor I searched for his watch
Ticking away my present past as I kept it under all the skin I’m wearing
Underneath the melting solid form of desire
There’s more to the lines you’ve created than the seconds could’ve told, Time
Let me hold this moment until you froze it, the wings of your shelter reach out
And I’m crawling below the veins of the dreams I never dreamt before
Time, come here closer to me, bury not your questions into your own answers
Form the stories, complete the lines I would have never said
And wear your own crown as the hours melt into my hands
Oh Time, listen to me, I’ve fallen more than you’ve pushed me on the side
Let me unlock this moment for you at the door you hold

And through life less explained in the moment you caught before,
It’ll all see you through, Time and crawl into the moments of a shattered past
