you're on my mind. someone who means the world to me and I will always love harder than any comfort in this world.

On My Mind

...among other things, for example, music, things, cases and situations, people, animals, math teachers or roads can suddenly change direction to the opposite. Bummm ... it suddenly knocked you over. This can be positive or negative. Self-reflection, admitting mistakes, asking for forgiveness, etc. are few, but immensely important experience points in the life of a person.... All make mistakes and from it one should actually use the chance to learn from it.

"In the Light" by Fragile Gods

Lyrics:

These are the days 
Of broken promises 
Talking so fast 
But nothing makes sense 

These are the days 
Of lost connections
Living on islands
With bridges burned

These are the days
Of falling slowly
Trying to hold on
But going down

These are the days
Of repetition
Where every day
Is just the same

In the Light 
You are standing 
Glowing gently
Moving slowly


These are the days
Of pointless drudgery
Working so hard
But nothing achieved

These are the days
Of false prophets
Pushing superstitions 
And crooked schemes    

These are the days 
Of wildfires 
Polluting the air that we breathe

These are the days
Without a future
Heading straight towards catastrophe

In the Light 
You are standing 
Glowing gently
Moving slowly

Scraping back the layers
Peeling back the years
Nothing else remains
Except for my fears

I don’t know you
But I need you
Where are you?
Where are you?

In the Light 
You are standing 
Glowing gently
Moving slowly

In the Light
