Forty days and forty nights You were the drug that kept me alive During weary times Seem so pure when wearing white Within such a frail and immaculate mind With those innocent eyes You were young and full of life You asked me to swear and in me you confided Underneath the stars I should care to you let you fly A chance to retrieve what was left behind To experience life Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Waiting for a wonder Within a forsaken land The sparrow in my hand Now buried in the sand Leaving you depending Leaving me with open veins Cant make you wait no more Cant make you wait no more Where its hard to breathe Everythings blackening, I am made of flesh and bone Blood, sweat and tears are all you ever will find Underneath the skin Youre a feather Im a stone Falling from the depths into the grave Where Im destined to dwell And we reach for mystery In the age of reason Every path we take Were wandering in blindness In the end nothing is Glorious or honourable While we drown in doubt Were drifting like strangers
forty, underneath, staring, confided, leaving
