In the end
time moves on
and life pushes onward
but without my wings
the breeze will be left to be
and all of the things you thought
would always be
unweave

when the dark envelops your soul
if everything, everything, everything
slowly goes
if there's nothing left but rotting flesh
and the cold
I'll always be here waiting
within your heart
and all of your sorrows
tomorrow we'll find a way
to start the story over...
over

one day
a girl finds a rose
she learns what it knows
in death it'll show
that in her silence
a bird tries to sing while strung
for violent ensembles that have rung
a thousand silent bells
I've failed

I wanted to say that maybe
some other day you'll change me
but
I know that your heart would harden
after the day I say goodbye
and fly...
I...

you say that if I'm a bird
then your vacant words
caught in the wind,
they go unheard

time left my mind
in presence of knowing
your resonance
might be leaving
tomorrow a life is due
regardless what I do

open your eyes wide
and find some presence of mind
so I can finally close mine
to prove I'm alive, wake
when frozen time passes by
despite unpleasantly,
desperately

light burns the night
and silently takes away
til' the day merges
twilight returns
in the sea
in your dreams
and our memories

if I'm a bird
rising from the
land of the absurd lies
I pray you soon realize
'cause if you're a snake
someday I might
take you away
as prey
from a hypocrite's
broken nirvana

Broken Nirvana
