Sleep through the storm again
Peek through my windowpane
The sun, seeing how it rise in depth
The funny thing is how the creatures look without a deep breath
There is a boy, not too tall but still a strapping boy
He speaks to trees and earth, giving, taking life… I see the birth
The monsters cry, wishing home would come again
To speak is lie, wearing all this makes such little sense now
I know that nothing gives without first taking
Eyes, see something that takes away my first glance
He takes me to a door, reaching to the sky, I enter slow
The moon, it lives in here, smoking herb and swimming in the sun
It speaks of time, and how we live without it known
The preacher’s crime, was to always open without questions
I fall asleep again, just to wake into a blind new world
A monster speaks to me, offering eyes and guidance to my safety
So lost am I, I can barely feel the wind
My hopes sure die, crying to my home, I only wished now
By and by, I would rather live here than go back now
Please be fine without me, you’d have it until all gone
