The Storm
Today I caught a lightning bolt, so I placed it in a translucent box
It will keep me safe until the mourning light, now that I've opened all my locks
From now until forever it will light my path and keep me warm
In my chamber, away from weather, I watch it change form
Through all the clouded souls a blinding light shown through
A kaleidoscopic brilliance emanating from none other than you
Still I drift through the night on a feather light raft
shall I stick to the wall for the entertainment or go out with the next draft
Please permit this lowly fool to stare into your lion eyes
I will die a happy man if you are my demise
Ram your glowing sword into my stone heart
Incomplete and destroyed I will be if we should ever part
my darling, my love, my life, You've got to let me know before my demons clash
Should I stay amongst familiar faces or should I go forth unto a life that travels much to fast
every second in the presence of your light can only be wished as an eternity
If only I could let it flicker all night and so maintain my intrepidity
the shadows you cast will forever dance on my walls and never fade
The sunset has given your face a magnificence no mere god could have made
A savior of sorts that came streaking through the clear blue sky, striking me down
Who would have thought one so amazing could have stumbled upon this stone on the ground
I can feel your electricity coursing through every vein in my body, warming my soul
Could it finally be that I've found everything I've ever wanted and I can finally be whole
No words can describe all the feelings in my mind for this beautiful stranger
All of my caution was thrown away at the first word, I'm in love with your danger
My past warns me of impending heart break, but now I'm a thousand times stronger
If we only have one life to live is there any reason not to wait one second longer?
how I wish I could let you out of this box and you could be mine for for just one night
I would have to be in heaven if this foolish punk could live forever in your light
What would I have to say? what would I have to do? Who would I have to be?
To make you want to stay, to make this all true, to make you be with me
Today I will walk the wire with no chance of turning back and no time to rest
With a brand new sun in my horizon and a thousand enemys in the past
every word from your tounge is a reason to live, I want it in my head
Now it's much more important than before, this needs to be said
I need your body, I need your mind, I need your electricity flowing
A direct current to my soul with every word my connection is growing
It's becoming increasingly harder to share your luminesense with all the others in your path
The window to the future is so dirty I can't begin to see the extent of your aftermath
My soul has already been destroyed by previous occupants, theres nothing left in me to kill
I must keep moving on toward the sun that awaits that will heal my morals that have grown ill
Nothing I can do to prepare for the inevitable future coming faster and faster than I can belive
The past still breathing down my neck, please promise me you will tell me before you leave
Curse this box and its mile high walls that prevent me from being content with whats left of me
Time does kill but it only kills the bored, why cant this void leave me so I can be free
This redundancy of past encouters is growing far to cruel of a game to be played with such a mind
Learning from the past only helps to comfort us when it all falls apart again Ive come to find
Onward I will march to the faint beat of my will to find adventure in the face of love
My clear plastic box still glowing brighter than ever, a light I'm surely unworthy of
Now that your storm has past I hope I will never be the same as I was before
I still hear your thunder in the distance and I pray it will be there forever more
Maybe It's just me or I am a fool for trying to follow your shadow to the ends of the earth
But It must all be worth if you are one of the very few who can feed my mirth
My conciounce is wearing thin theres not much left in my head to save me from you
I got no where to hide from your peircing eyes and theres nothing left for me to do
As the night rolls on to a brand new day I can't help think of what's to come of my light
I can't see straight anymore everythings so distorted If only you were the one to restore my sight
But in a world where nothing as it seems I can't sell myself to you as I would so like to
I wish I could just hold you forever for if I let go, I will run a high risk of becoming a recluse
I can't help but be drawn to you, like a fly being sucked into the lovely blue light
I don't know how to end this story, Every possible out come goes against everything right
So I will end it now on a subtle note that I can never forget these few days
And that for ever more I will remeber how you saved me in so many ways
Back
