Waiting Between Worlds

She was alone in a bathroom

Eyes fixed like a statue

Wrists soar and her face bruised

She just waiting for more bad news

Now she's white like a full moon

As she can't bear what the test proves

At a crossroads, need a rescue

Cuz what she gonna do

Hold on

She's waiting between worlds

Wish she could tell 'em hold on

I'm waiting between worlds

He was looking at a pale sun rise

Thinking back on the time gone by

How he loved and he laughed and he cried

How it all was a blink of an eye

Now he's looking at the shake in his hand

Thinking how much more of life can he stand

And how many years can he cram

Before his fate gives way and he's ash in the sand

And is it the last stop on the road

Or the next step in a path grand and unknown

A milestone formed from the fruits of his ways

Okay in what comes with the end of his days

But the sun's rays shine on a face so divine

"An angel of mine" goes the phrase in his mind

Wise to the signs, knowing soon is the time

But he isn't ready to say goodbye

Hold on

He's waiting between worlds

Wish he could tell 'em hold on

I'm waiting between worlds

4 AM when she woke to the sound

Walked to the door in her bedtime gown

Policeman said that her son's been found

He was shot in the head near a club downtown

And the terror in her heart was profound

Her legs broke down, she collapsed to the ground

As the walls were spinning all around

He said: Ma'am please you need to come right now

So she's sitting down dazed in a cop car

Swerving through lanes in a maze where the crazed are

And locked in a haze from the shock

Thoughts frayed as they stop with here stomach in knots

Lord please end the nightmare

Are the words in her mind as they raced inside

Lord please end the nightmare

In the hospital ward in the eye of the storm

Miss, I regret to say

There's not much hope I can give today

The assault took much of his brain away

We've done all we can but his state is grave

Best case here is he'll live on machines

With a vegetable quality of life foreseen

Or instead we can pull out the feed

Let him live his last moments and he'll pass in a dream

Hold on

We're waiting between worlds

Wish she could tell 'em hold on

We're waiting between worlds

Waiting between worlds that divide through a choice undefined

A break in the line where all paths intertwine

And no roads lead or progress behind

And all signs read: Know The Way. Decide

They say all things never truly die

But change in existence and switch design

Like a drain to an ocean in which we're blind

We remain set in motion from worlds combined

So if I had one thought that would last and hold

Amass and fold over as it fastly grows

And fuse into life like a fabric sewn

Clasp the vast field whence existence flows

I'd say settle down, of your grief let go

This world's nothing more than a magic show

Though tragic at times and encased in woe

It all works out, of this truth I know
