|
She was alone in a bathroom |
|
Eyes fixed like a statue |
|
Wrists soar and her face bruised |
|
She just waiting for more bad news |
|
Now she's white like a full moon |
|
As she can't bear what the test proves |
|
At a crossroads, need a rescue |
|
Cuz what she gonna do |
|
|
|
Hold on |
|
She's waiting between worlds |
|
Wish she could tell 'em hold on |
|
I'm waiting between worlds |
|
|
|
He was looking at a pale sun rise |
|
Thinking back on the time gone by |
|
How he loved and he laughed and he cried |
|
How it all was a blink of an eye |
|
Now he's looking at the shake in his hand |
|
Thinking how much more of life can he stand |
|
And how many years can he cram |
|
Before his fate gives way and he's ash in the sand |
|
And is it the last stop on the road |
|
Or the next step in a path grand and unknown |
|
A milestone formed from the fruits of his ways |
|
Okay in what comes with the end of his days |
|
But the sun's rays shine on a face so divine |
|
"An angel of mine" goes the phrase in his mind |
|
Wise to the signs, knowing soon is the time |
|
But he isn't ready to say goodbye |
|
|
|
Hold on |
|
He's waiting between worlds |
|
Wish he could tell 'em hold on |
|
I'm waiting between worlds |
|
|
|
4 AM when she woke to the sound |
|
Walked to the door in her bedtime gown |
|
Policeman said that her son's been found |
|
He was shot in the head near a club downtown |
|
And the terror in her heart was profound |
|
Her legs broke down, she collapsed to the ground |
|
As the walls were spinning all around |
|
He said "ma'am please you need to come right now" |
|
So she's sitting down dazed in a cop car |
|
Swerving through lanes in a maze where the crazed are |
|
And locked in a haze from the shock |
|
Thoughts frayed as they stop with here stomach in knots |
|
"Lord please end the nightmare" |
|
Are the words in her mind as they raced inside |
|
"Lord please end the nightmare" |
|
In the hospital ward in the eye of the storm |
|
"Miss, I regret to say |
|
There's not much hope I can give today |
|
The assault took much of his brain away |
|
We've done all we can but his state is grave |
|
Best case here is he'll live on machines |
|
With a vegetable quality of life foreseen |
|
Or instead we can pull out the feed |
|
Let him live his last moments and he'll pass in a dream" |
|
|
|
Hold on |
|
We're waiting between worlds |
|
Wish she could tell 'em hold on |
|
We're waiting between worlds |
|
|
|
Waiting between worlds that divide through a choice undefined |
|
A break in the line where all paths intertwine |
|
And no roads lead or progress behind |
|
And all signs read: "Know The Way. Decide." |
|
They say all things never truly die |
|
But change in existence and switch design |
|
Like a drain to an ocean in which we're blind |
|
We remain set in motion from worlds combined |
|
So if I had one thought that would last and hold |
|
Amass and fold over as it fastly grows |
|
And fuse into life like a fabric sewn |
|
Clasp the vast field whence existence flows |
|
I'd say settle down, of your grief let go |
|
This world's nothing more than a magic show |
|
Though tragic at times and encased in woe |
|
It all works out, of this truth I know |
