Don't Take Light I stand at the top of the line Not waiting long it's a trick of the mind My soul is still my body's cracked at the spine I see the air of the birds, it moves slower than time You watch my life unwind, no designs are drawn for me Stepping gently round this fear, that's me I confess to shaping this imagined disease Please set my hand within reach You can't touch my face, it's a tease, just like me Don't take light my inner doubts, there's blackness all around What are these years all about, grave and cradle common plight So deadly common I wonder why, why do these tears run my life The battle ends but you hear a war in your mind Not good or evil, just some fracture that history winds The soul is able yet the body declines To take the mantle of a life with a heavenly shine Please don't watch my life unwind, try to find a fantasy Entertain a fool with a laughter that's free Was I invited or am I deceived It's just a parting gift as you leave, as you leave Don't take light my inner doubts, there's blackness all around What are these years all about? grave and cradle common plight So deadly common wonder why, why do these fears run my life My life
