Missed The City Lights

Come back, dark, make me sharp
And fill this willing open desire I fear to let through
Making the rope of this thread even wider I fell
Through all of these reasons to let me bleed,
I heard this voice just so clear next to the words
There were lines in a forbidden sense
Never to be heard or spoken, reflected by the inner voice
And by the way of filling this lightness
It’s all so dark out there in the cold,
Where is the lantern I held before my breath was stolen,
Oh silent dark, fear me, I come here to comfort you
But there was nothing but you oh here in this silence

And in this cold created, by hands given this warmth
Deep over the frozen lake of my insecurities
I missed the city lights, I saw no light, I saw the cold

Cold, cold, oh cold
Can you hear me ?
I found the frozen path in the melted water
Coming closer from the touch
Somehow it all crushed the drops falling into the lake
Dried up once, filled with endless dreams I’ve never had
I created a circle and let the squares in for I am here
You know there is nothing I can find without the world
Speaks of words I never laid down before
It is there, snow falling, it is there oh I am here
Without the city lights

Come back, light, make me weak again
Turn me around in your passion and make me shattered
As a past over the years by as it’s sepia coming over the sky
Can’t you just close your eyes and find me again,
Leading me towards the screaming winter for I am not here
Over the pieces of glass reflected by the inner dreams
And reality settled down here in these breathless skies
I heard this voice just so clear with all the words
There were lines in a forbidden sense
Spoken, unheard, spoken and yes heard

Cold, cold, oh cold
Can you hear me ?
I found the frozen path in the melted water
Coming closer from the touch
Somehow it all crushed the drops falling into the lake
Dried up once, filled with endless dreams I’ve never had
I created a circle and let the squares in for I am here
You know there is nothing I can find without the world
Speaks of words I never laid down before
It is there, snow falling, it is there oh I am here
Without the city lights

Just the words and their light,
Just the words and me
