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
Canât make you wait no more
Canât make you wait no more
Where itâs hard to breathe
Everythingâs blackening,
I am made of flesh and bone
Blood, sweat and tears are all you ever will find
Underneath the skin
Youâre a feather Iâm a stone
Falling from the depths into the grave
Where Iâm destined to dwell
And we reach for mystery
In the age of reason
Every path we take
Weâre wandering in blindness
In the end nothing is
Glorious or honourable
While we drown in doubt
Weâre drifting like strangers
