A wind for new wings


There's a good wind today,

covered in shivers and droplets of cold rain.

Howl for attention

Bring to mind that spark that made your darkness eternal

Bring to mind that spark that dried away your sight

Bring to mind that spark so loud you were sure to never hear again

Bring to mind that.

Bring to mind.

Bring to mind the tear inside
Bring to mind the gasp for air
Bring to mind the hands reached out

Bring to mind the path found


Bring to mind


Bring to mind.

I can't cut these teeth for you

I can't unlock these doors for you.

I can't cross these streets for you.

I can't undo these dreams for you.

I can't cut these keys for you.

I can't uncross these bones for you.

I can't stop these tears for you.

I can't build these walls for you.

I can't see these stars for you.

I can't speak these lines for you.

I can't fill these veins for you.

I can't try these wings for you.




All in all, we shall forget
Promise to forgive-me-not
As the dust rises from the street
As the mist rises from the sea

All in all, we shall forget
I am to take the long way round
As the decision is already made, I watch the ripples tear the lake
As the wind is already blowing, I undo my hair

I know I'm living on borrowed words
The one I call you has changed.

Find me a way

I am in no haste yet, still it feels I should already be somewhere
else.

I ask for something impossible to betray
There's a simple rail to follow
grab it with both hands, wish to let go

I have asked and so I'm shown

The liquid that is blood comes washing down

If there is a language I can speak to make you understand
please be on your way

Not knowing the feeling that comes next
I bow my head
Not feeling the need to stay
I bow my head
Not knowing what all I fear
I bow my head

I walk the steps that lead to you
please come meet me on the way

This rain

washing down the streets

I can hear it on the roof
I can see it in the streetlight
I can feel it on my face

This rain washing down
I feel it melt away all that has been waiting to be washed away

This rain that falls

This rain
in the dark
soaks me
soaks all around me

This rain that falls
I have waited for long

Now,
I can tell you
Now
