through these burning skies I see
the starless sky you gave to me
the place I left my souls behind
the wandering demons in my mind
hurting just to feel alive
mere seconds tear apart my drive
you thought I was just going to sleep
sometime, someday again we’ll meet
I’ve fallen through the cracks, I know
mistaken gifts, my life to show
now searching for a place to die
just waiting for the right time
in the mirror, the ghost you see
the physical faces of all but me
the living spirit floating through the air
surviving now on a single dare
the shadows drifting through the night
challenging the edge of light
embrace me just like falling sand
knowing those without homelands
I’ve fallen through the cracks, I know
mistaken gifts, my life to show
now searching for a place to die
just waiting for the right time
now searching for a place to die
just waiting for the right time
