Soul - ALCHEMICAL
These long hard looks in the mirror
I can't see eye-to-eye with who I wish I'd be
And I may have stood too close behind the door
Listening to see if the storm I brewed would just leave me be
But I feel like I've known my whole life
Sworn to protect my faith wide-eyed
Lost in the back yard burying my weight in gold
I raged in black, with death pondering my soul
I lay flat arms across my chest
Subtle waves of blue danced under my skin
My eyes closed forever in haunting silences
My lips pursed in honor of all my grievances
But I feel like I've known you my whole life
Waiting ever patiently, drinking my peace down like wine
Lost in the bottom of the ocean, drowning my weight in gold
Dressed down in black, with death pondering my soul
And if it were up to me
I'd fade into you so perfectly
Stuck on the wall like your favorite flower
Burst into flames like ribbons of your amber
But I feel I should've known better all my life
Old enough to beseech for more time
Still too young to know what it all means
In the midst of all fairness of bloody wars and belonging.
