Solar Scream Afterglow
Wearing my soul
Inside out
So that you can see
My point is defined
Tied around my neck
A crooked device
Nailed to the tree
The shattered body of Christ
Where every loss is a gain
Is this the way you’ve been enthusing about?
If only I could see
Where it would lead me
Treating life as a game
Loosing grip in this merry-go-round
It got me down on my knees
But here I go again…
Tell me all about
This aching afterglow of life
I’m still wondering aloud
Will I ever forget your love?
Each and every day
My memories of youth will fade away
It’s a price I’ll gladly pay
But I will never let you go
No, not again
First I denied
It seemed like a joke
But nobody smiled
They’ve seen me through
Out in the fields
Blooming pastures of green
Are setting the stage
The stage for something new
In my fear of going under
I fold my limbs around her
Like roots clinching the earth while
Digging deep where the water grows
Breaking through the layers
Of obstacles and barriers
To taste the sweetest flavors
Of doing things I have never done
