One More Step

In the blink of an eye,
we shuffle, we cry
arch forward and die
just to survive
this mess, this
archaic test
this technological
hideous jest of life
drowning in papers
drowning in salt water
drowining in tears
that stretch clear
to the horizon
--------------
I'm not alone
as I cling to the little
joy life brings
I'm not forsaken
or broken
just tuck me in
and tell me
sleep tight,
you'll see me in the morning
----------------
So roll over once more
this hideous strength
keep unlocking
doors of back-lit
banter
The truth really
does matter
grab it and hold
it tight
with all your might
it's just the dawn of the
new age of fighting
soul blood, metal
and lightning ...

This is the way
we wander
through valleys
that crack, crevases
wreak havoc on minds
that have no strength
anymore,

just one more step
take
just one more step
it could be all that's left

spirally down
do you hear the sound
it's small and underwater
under-real what's gotten
into our skin
They've all been crying
"Let us in"
Fallen Beauties
of a once familiar Glory
now gone usunder
Don't let them get under
my skin
