As the darkness poured into my room
I poured the torn-up sheets over my head
Closing my eyes tightly
I could no longer tell dark from dark
I was a child again.

In a whisper, she came to me
Prying up the roots of this hollowed-out tree
An arresting ring of wonder seemed so sure around my throat
But among 18 burning candles, I fell apart to let it go
What nobody knows is what nobody knows
Whatever nobody knows is what nobody knows

Sometimes you gotta watch your step on the bright line of life
Sometimes you gotta stumble down the long dark road
The water stills with lovers’ chills, purified by lonely nights
The angels sing when you learn to take it slow
The angels sing when you learn to let it go

But “you” won’t see
And I don’t care I don’t care now
No I don’t care I don’t care now
No I don’t care, cause I’ve gotta break out
Yeah I’ve gotta break out
I’m gonna break out
(Yanni: 1, 2, 3, 4!!!)

Sometimes you gotta watch your step on the bright line of life
Sometimes you gotta stumble down the long dark road
The water stills with lovers’ chills, purified by lonely nights
The angels sing when you learn to take it slow
The angels sing when you learn to let it go
The angels will sing

Do you hear the noise inside the rainbow-colored waterfall?
The white grains kissing on our skin
The sun will shine upon it all
Tripping down memory lane and rolling through the flower beds
A dark blue man and fuzzy girl
Ask if we’re falling off our heads
And I say to both them:
You just can’t understand

I’ve walked a million times
Down a thin white line
Here I shine
And I am a pounding drum
Around walls of silent lies and disillusion

Which I am part of, no doubt I’m running circles in and outside
The deepest corners of my very lost mind, false mind
Hoping to fit in
I dream of waking up and faking an existence of significance
Smiling everyday, all day long
But here lies lonely hearts and broken hearts
Ones learning how to master arts of fucking all they see
Our names hail from our darkest days
As we stumble off into the purple haze, always asking
How could souls ever find love? Love that basks in plastic trust
We’re bloody and fucked up, running into walls again
We ain’t ever gonna win! Go and shut your mouth, you bitch!
We’re falling off this bridge!

(…I was a child again)
But then the Earth began to shake and the roar of a million lions
Could not overpower the noise of crumbling walls
And the violent screams in my head
In the midst of it all
The sweet memory of her lullaby climbed up into my mind
She sang it to me, and I sang it to the world
Within moments I was standing tall upon the mattress
Breathing in every last bit of the surrounding darkness
I became one, then we became one
I smiled
In its final breath, it tore open the wall in front of me
In poured a beam of fresh, golden light
That fell peacefully upon my tired eye

Much love. Peace.
