Clive Haunt - Last Legs

Visit a realm
Of fog and haze
Where spirits dwell
And oft they play
Ruses and spells
From a far away place
Hey
They're calling you, they're calling you, to follow
I know you're so scared
You've waited all of your life
Dying to be here
Now you're along for the ride
'Cause you want to feel it
In the cold of the night
Slow down and breathe it in
You'll never feel so alive
Now that I'm on my last legs
I've never felt so alive
I want to find out what comes next
I've never felt so alive
In the contest with self, he was on offence
Now he's looking past his past in the looking glass to get gratis
From all his self-sabotage and love and loss
Conquering Kubler-Ross, still he's haunted but he's walking and
Testing his confidence so, at least he'll know he did it
Slow collision; a homing missile closely approaching with motion sickness
So capricious but now he's zoning in
Only inches away from victory's hellos and kisses
His only wish is to hold his britches with holes and stitches
Into the coldest winters, will he cope with hopelessness, indecision
Photo finish cut, his hair is colour coded in wisdom
A ghost drifting away, old and grey hoping this is
Not the end — a phantom in a half mask with a haughty grin
Who planned to have the last laugh in a past act but the copy ends
With, "Let me have this last dance 'til they lock me in"
As he runs to the summit; summons the strength to run amuck
Come and plunge in to the dungeon of the mind
With a rumbling on the rise, accompanied by
A hundred hums of trumpets in the sky
Breaking asunder, embrace the discomfort, chasing the thunder
Raising from slumber now it's 11:59
Blooming in the hour of doom
This ill-fitting hope is a blessing in disguise
Considered letting it die for a second 'til he recognized his mind is restless
Ready to fight and step in the light — his resurrection is nigh
I know you're so scared
You've waited all of your life
Dying to be here
Now you're along for the ride
'Cause you want to feel it
In the cold of the night
Slow down and breathe it in
Now that I'm on my last legs
I've never felt so alive
I want to find out what comes next
I've never felt so alive
