I still look up to the sky, from time to time.
Search for a reason why, but all I see is light.
So beautiful the particles, acting as a wave.
And my faith rose with them, out into the night.
A new freedom fills the space once occupied by obedience.
Those dark days are over and now it is time to face home again,
where it hurts to see that nothing will ever be the same for me.
If at least my old friends,
would become my new fiends.
Disregard is much harder to take than hostility.
The bottle has become my new tin god.
The content is my faith and I sipped the last drop.
They say you can't find the answers at the bottom of a glass,
but maybe it makes me forget the questions I've asked.
I've come to a point where nothing can save me.
Where nothing can restore what's broken and vanished.
I know what I am, let down and rejected.
Unable to count the scars I've collected.
My face is worn out, my feet are blistered.
An empty body, can't speak but whisper.
Threaten me with hell, I'll tell you my story.
We won't rise up to heaven, in caskets rot our bodies.
Sometimes it's better to let go what is gone.
Try to chase a ghost or accept: there is none.
