How Long Do You Wait?

You wake up everyday

Your life in your eyes

You see it pass before you

A blur to everyone with its lies

The damage has been done

Rising from your ashes

Life, a mystery solved to you

Made from clay and stone

You know what is true

The clay fades but stones stay

Made with stars and light

The heavens shine into your soul

The light bears with your dreams

Of life and its speed beyond you

Out of the ocean like steam

You rise above yourself

Knowing your true self

Hiding in the shadows

Spying your truth through your eyes

Spinning before you in the night

She comes into you

coming into sight

coming with the light

Bearing your soul before the world

you feel it tear

you feel it burn

driven home with anguish and tears

your life hurts but to bear another day

You wake up everyday

Your life in your eyes

You see it pass before you

A blur to everyone with its lies

The damage has been done
