I'll  awaken
The  solitude  of  this  mountain  becomes  constant
The  walls  embrace  me  in  their  calm
Gusting  winds  breathe  around  me
My  container  a  vessel  of  stillness  balanced  upon  stone  and  earth
With  too  many  stories  for  a  single  lifetime
If  I  blink  the  vessel  breaks
Shattering  the  illusion  of  freedom
With  the  flash  of  an  eye  it's  gone
(It's  gone)
I  open  my  eyes,  to  stare  into  yours
My  heart  marks  this  time  forevermore
But  now  I'm  between  a  flicker  of  fantasy
Struggling  now,  struggling  now  to  make  sense  of  this
Belief  without  conviction
The  world  in  my  mind  could  be  real,  where  thoughts  bring  solace
I  listen,  I  listen
Over  the  dull  song  of  birds
Over  the  sounds  in  the  distance
Over  the  sirens  of  the  lost
Silence,  is  what  I  wish  for
I  open  my  eyes,  to  stare  into  yours
My  heart  marks  this  time  forevermore
But  now  I'm  between  a  flicker  of  fantasy
Struggling  now,  struggling  now  to  make  sense  of  this
I've  been  altered  by  staring  into  infinity
I  open  my  eyes,  to  stare  into  yours
My  heart  marks  this  time  forevermore
With  this  I'll  be  remembered,  so  I  can  die  and  truly  be  born
I  smile  at  the  thought  of  myself  smiling  again
Living  a  lifetime  between  breaths
