Sky

Was it an eleventh hour transformation that you had been waiting for,

or were you surprised?

Surprised to have encountered a complete stranger

that had been sitting in the darkest corner

of your soul

trying to make a fire out of damp tinders- tinders which seem to have survived

all your silent screams and harsh cries

& that stranger has finally got your fire burning

How old is your yearning?

The darkness itself is making a way for that stranger now

She’s coming, she’s coming over now

Does she seem familiar? Does she make you feel new?

Is she returning to you or is she replacing you?

Oh, I always knew my change wasn’t around the corner

It was threatened, it was cornered

Stay still now, the answers are coming

Look in the mirror now

Can you hear the drumming?

What’s left of you?

What’s left in you?

What’s left for you?

What’s left by you?

Oh, she’ll tell you.

Oh, she’ll show you.

New world is in order

I don’t remember him anymore

I don’t remember the way he used to walk

The way he used to talk, the things he used to talk

I don’t remember his face anymore

His eyes, his nose, his lips

Although I try to remember

I try hard, really hard

I do remember how it felt when we kissed

But I don’t remember the kiss anymore

I do remember feeling happy

I don’t remember the reason anymore

I remember our love

I don’t remember us anymore

I want to... I want to remember

Oh, you make me feel so alive.

Yes, you do.

I’m only afraid that I’ll drag you down to the grave.

Not in spite of the efforts you take,
