out of reach

Out Of Reach
Haven Intermediate, 2015

I know of both sides. Long before I was placed in this state of stasis, I used to be a part of only one world... or so I thought. I was overwhelmed by this feeling that there was a place where I was truly meant to be, a place I could call my own home. Definitely a never ending quest to acquire something that is out of reach. You, however, helped me throughout the way, and I never got to thank you. You are an entity of mystery, more than any of us are.

I′m sitting here in this chamber waiting
The lights are out again
In the darkness I make out glimpses and noises of a world
That drag me out of this shell

The past is screaming at me under the ruins
That crumbled under the weight
The weight of burden that's too much
To make us feel safe

A hundred times I could live this disaster
A hundred times I′ll build on top of what has been left

I journeyed corners of the world to find
The key to my mind
And hearts of strangers roaming in the dreams that bring
Your presence showered in the mists that tell me
Who you are and what you want
Cause I know nothing
Except the names you left behind for me
To find beside you

But now you're out of reach again

Night falls and I go back to bed
To find myself again
And as I close my eyes the light erases all the pain
With my wounds healed I press on forward

Down an old and lost path awaiting
To find your eyes of stone waiting for my fall

I traveled to corners of the world to find
The key to my mind
And hearts of strangers roaming in the dreams that bring
Your presence showered in the mists that tell me
Who you are and what you want
Cause I know nothing
Except the names you left behind for me
To find, besides you

But now you're out of reach again

I journeyed corners of the world to find
The key to my mind
And hearts of strangers roaming in the dreams that bring
Your presence showered in the mists that tell me
Who you are and what you want
Cause I know nothing
Except the names you left behind for me
To find beside you

I journeyed corners of the world to find
The key to my mind
And hearts of strangers roaming in the dreams that bring
Your presence showered in the mists that tell me
Who you are and what you want
Cause I know nothing
Except the names you left behind for me
To find, besides you

But now you′re out of reach

Again
