Lyrics

The wind came strong
I got new eyes
But I lost my skin
And tonight I cry

The days are long
By the time I sleep
The hills I climb
My legs are weak

The untold journey takes forever
The destination is unknown
Reasons for it are unspoken
Damage gathers to the bone

My blindness came with slippered feet
Did its task and stayed discrete
My shell it slowly flaked away
It may grow back another day

The clouds fell low
I breathed a mist
My window's closed
I must insist

The nights go slow
When I do awake
My fingers burns
My conscience aches

The unbid yearnings stay forever
The reason for remain unknown
Built on needs and wants together
Splitting hairs, lets out a groan

My skin took on a purpled hue
A spotted coat I wore for weeks
My eyes do shine now in the dark
My bones do splinter, come apart

The lightning screams
The sky is clear
It's in my dreams
The time I fear

It takes so long
It comes by quick
The last is strong
A final trick

The unfair questions never answered
They never, ever will be known
The world will end, without beginning
Before it does, I will be flown

I limp whenever I am watching
Coiled connections now are weak
Stand outside I see me leaving
I may be back somewhere next week

The wind came strong
I got new eyes
I got new skin
It's time to fly
I got new bones
I got new time
The question asked
Just one more time?

The question asked
Just one more time?
