Don't Take Light Lyrics

Don't Take Light
I stand at the top of the line
Not waiting long it's a trick of the mind
My soul is still my body's cracked at the spine
I see the air of the birds, it moves slower than time

You watch my life unwind, no designs are drawn for me
Stepping gently round this fear, that's me
I confess to shaping this imagined disease

Please set my hand within reach
You can't touch my face, it's a tease, just like me

Don't take light my inner doubts, there's blackness all around
What are these years all about, grave and cradle common plight
So deadly common I wonder why, why do these tears run my life

The battle ends but you hear a war in your mind
Not good or evil, just some fracture that history winds
The soul is able yet the body declines
To take the mantle of a life with a heavenly shine

Please don't watch my life unwind, try to find a fantasy
Entertain a fool with a laughter that's free

Was I invited or am I deceived
It's just a parting gift as you leave, as you leave

Don't take light my inner doubts, there's blackness all around
What are these years all about? grave and cradle common plight
So deadly common wonder why, why do these fears run my life
My life
