Midwinter Calls

Just listen It's not the sunrise it is the light it brings And it's not the tears it's how the sorrow sings It's not the solitude it is the emptiness It's not the fear it's how the blood rushes It's not the fleeing it is the leaving And that my inside remains unchanged I shut all doors to summer Opening the vaults to fall Closing my mind to all color Midwinter Calls Home! We are lost, far from home We never discovered a way to get closer Our whole existence outlasts our fall Confession I never shone brightly and I never cried lightly And it's not that I don't know the demons are fighting I know them by the name as they reek of emptiness Source is not the fear it's the self-esteem it crushes It's not the fleeing it's the non-believing And that my inside will never change, no! It is the doubting and simply being These are the fears that I'm battling through We are lost, far from home We never discovered a way to get closer Our whole existence outlasts our fall We were tears in a storm That froze in the fall We've fallen too far I shut all doors to summer Opening the vaults to fall Closing my mind to all colors Midwinter Calls Home! We are lost, far from home We never discovered a way to get closer Our whole existence outlasts our fall To behold this, is it hopeless? We are lost, far from home The last of all.
