I took a step backwards
and found myself
within myself
on a journey of introspection
where I have lost myself again.
Where the minutes feel like years
and the colours all blend into one,
Where the thoughts in my mind
are floating away like clouds in the wind
I’m looking through the back of the mirror inside
at my outside self
which steps through the paces
and does what needs to be done
but I’m not seeing through these eyes
and I don’t want to move
I don’t what to think
I’m watching the world through someone else’s eyes.
Let the darkness envelope me
let it wrap me up and hold me close
Underneath a velvet sky.
I don’t want to speak
I can’t find the words
Let me hear instead the music play
and maybe the words will guide me
maybe they will find me
but just for now I’ll lie me down to sleep
and pray to god my soul to keep
Until the day dawns as only it must
and in the morning light
we shall see..
see if the lighthouse beckons
see if it show me the way
instead of dreaming the dream
of finding the way
beneath a velvet sky.
Where the tears I shed are not my own
where I don’t need to be samson
Where the demons can’t find me
and the angels still fear to tread
Where I can be lost
in the middle of nothing
but for the comfort of being
Underneath a velvet sky
