No one knows for how long We've been seeking for an opening Working our way through the thicket of our thoughts Pulled under by the marsh of this dreadful course Stripping ourselves of longings and remorse It has been a while It's been a while since we've last took a breath And felt the time and the urge To indulge into what we've become To hesitate in front of the truth Gathering the courage to face another traversal Across the phantom of our common solitude Moving upwards, from the undermost gorge We've sculpted our faces with the mud Where we've been left to wallow Hanging by a thread Suspended on the edges Of the clefts in our skulls A pale glimmer of light is piercing through the dark Faintly carrying us along our path A fleeting iridescence From the black beyond Reminding us We have learned to live in loss No one knows for how long We've been seeking for an opening Working our way through the thicket of our thoughts Pulled under by the marsh of this dreadful course Stripping ourselves of longings and remorse It has been a while It's been a while since we've last took a breath Since we've last took a breath Of light With all this mud let us rebuild our world Liquid gold seeps from the deepest cut And we still haven't said our last word May this gleam forever shine on To hesitate in front of the truth Gathering the courage to face another traversal Across the phantom of our common solitude Moving upwards, from the undermost gorge We've sculpted our faces with the mud Where we've been left to wallow Hanging by a thread Suspended on the edges Of the clefts in our skulls
