As I see the light fades
My life-force feeds your soul
Too late, I am aware

Sweet bird of prey 1
NDE 2
Out of sight I went towards the light
You know, the one, not the sun
The thing that catches your eye

Tears excommunicate me
Vengeance incenses me
In acceptance, replaces me

Pictures come, somewhat disgusting
Hope fades yesterday’s news
Views of paradise lost in truths
Scattered like seeds, down the drain
No more tears, endless rain

The same old “here I go again” feeling
No one’s at fault, no one’s to blame
