Under Saturn's Shadow

Here I sit and wait throughout my days, waiting for something, for my spirit to ascend. It's not that I so badly want to die, but at these times I struggle for a desire to live.

Each day it grows worse than the last. Function divorced from my body. As saturn's shadow falls across my soul, I'm powerless until it's passed.

And I'm trying, trying to find a way. Out of the blackness of the tunnel at the end of the light. And I'm dreaming forever and a day. Dreaming of a time when life won't be this way. (Under saturn's shadow I'm falling, under saturn's shadow)

Webs invisible bind my spirit, in a bondage to a force unseen. Like a candle, this gift my life. It burns away, it burns away.

Until night's end sleep will not come to me. Then come restless, fitful dreams. Eternal slumber calls me to her arms. After I'm dead, will I still dream?

Sometimes I dream that I'm alive. Under the stars, under the sky. Then I awaken paralyzed to another day I cannot face. And I'm trying, trying to find a way.Out of the blackness of the tunnel at the end of the light. And I'm dreaming forever and a day. Dreaming of a time when life won't be this way. (Under saturn's shadow I'm falling, under saturn's shadow)
