Songs I Can't Sing

In the night

By dimming candles

A thought comes to me

It softens

Everything

And the birds don't sing

Silenced by fear

Longing

for song in

Anything

Whatever life may bring

Unknown to the ear

Circling

Summoning

here

The world in my hands

With no understanding

Left in me

But its circling and

I can’t hold on

Any more any longer

And the floors opening

For the hell that I’d pondered

Longing

For songs, I can’t sing

In the morning time

By dawn early rising

Thoughts come to me

In the light

they are scarce

And bring no more comfort

And I

Admit

I’m scared

Of what a life may bring

Circling

Summoning

fear

[CHORUS X2]

The world in my hands

With no understanding

Left in me

But its circling and

I can’t hold on

Any more any longer

And the floors opening

For the hell that I’d pondered

Longing

For songs, I can’t sing
