Slipping Through My Fingers
The world is spinning
Too fast for me to follow.
So much on my mind it
Feels it will self-destruct.
-
Why is it that I feel blissful
Happiness when I taste
Bitter blood heavy on my tongue?
That face, it floats in my eyes, it
Floats in my dreams and
I can't take it anymore.
-
I'm loosing control. It's
Slipping through my fingers
Like strands of liquid silk I
Cannot grasp.
-
Memories fade away too
Quickly and I can't seem to
Remember whether they
Were real or a long-ago dream.
I turn around to find that
My sanity has run off without my notice.
I turn back to see
That my soul is preparing its funeral.
-
I'm loosing control. It's
Slipping through fingers
Like strands of liquid silk I
Cannot grasp.
-
Images are blurring as
They fly past.
I can't see them clearly
And it burns my eyes when I try.
There's screaming, screaming
In my ears, though I
Try to cover them in vain.
The world is swirling and drowning,
Weaving in hazy streams all around me.
-
They're yelling, demanding at
Me, these people I know and for
What reasons they won't leave.
I cry in my prayers, but
God won't help me now.
-
I'm loosing control, its
Slipping through my fingers
Like strands of liquid silk I
Cannot grasp.
