Jagged Rocks on the Perimeter - Against the Darkened Sky
White sand forms
An island
And the rocks are gray
Dismissed from
My problems
Now they're miles away
Blooming open like a seagulls wings
Stretched around the throat of other
Things that I
Stood for when I cried
I traveled
An ocean
Just to find this land
Keep on me
I hope that
One day I'll be back
Standing around me
With the telescope eyes
Forming a circle around me
And they laughed
Slowly
As I died
Reflections
Of faces
Words are lost for me
Fell down for
A shadow
Of fallen memories
Premature judgements
And a practical eye
Stamped upon a package
Of our lives
As the world goes by
Go fly against the darkened sky as I
Look into your heart
Fly high against the lighthouse sky
Uphill and do it from the start
Your eyes are greener
Than the greenest sea
And they laugh with me
Go fly against the darkened sky
And they look through me
Blooming open like a seagulls wings
Stretched around the throat of other
Things that I
Stood for when I cried
Reflections
Of faces
Words are lost for me
Fell down for
A shadow
Of fallen memories
Premature judgements
And a practical eye
Stamped upon the package
Of our lives
As the world goes by
Go fly against the darkened sky as I
Look into your heart
Fly high against the lighthouse sky
Uphill and do it from the start
Your eyes are greener
Than the greenest sea
And they laugh with me
Go fly against the darkened sky
And they look through me
Blooming open like a seagulls wings
Stretched around the throat of other
Things that I
Stood for when I cried
Go fly against the darkened sky as I
Look into your heart
Fly high against the lighthouse sky
Uphill and do it from the start
Your eyes are greener
Than the greenest sea
And they laugh with me
Go fly against the darkened sky
And they look through me
Go fly against the darkened sky as I
Look into your heart
Fly high against the lighthouse sky
Uphill and do it from the start
Your eyes are greener
Than the greenest sea
And they laugh with me
Go fly against the darkened sky
And they look through me
