Hanging On

Have you ever felt strange

And lost in space and time

And beyond the help of G’d and reason waves?

Is the reality you know

A long way home from paradise

And you feel it’ll never come to be unveiled?

And you hang on waiting for the time

When everything will come to an end

But there’s no reason

In your blackened vision

Behind your waking eyes

When you are walking through the streets

With people rushing ‘cross their lives

And you’re one of them, despite of what you think

And you must run to win the game

And try to build a wealthy life

And, behind your steps, you leave your love, your days

And you hang on and try to stop the time

You don’t want to come to an end

It’s your season

You see no reason

To close your greedy eyes

Hanging on, a smile lays on your lips

The stars you aimed were pebbles on the dark

You see no one is left to blame

For tied feet and deadbolt locks

‘Cause all this time the Key was on the sand

A long, long time, a long, long way

A lot of feelings left behind

And a certainty of never feel again

Untie my feet and kick the blame

And nevermore hang upside down

To think of why to stay or go away

No more hang on! No more space and time

No difference between start and end

There’s no reason

It’s out of season

Before my weary eyes
