Once on Silk Road
East of Eden

I can breathe the light

I can hear the voice of fire split the sky

Embers from above fall on my hands

I clench my fists and run forever


Is this second wind

or is this the starting line?

Ashes in the air help me forget my past

I look to the heavens


Counting countless days,

ending endless ways,

Run this race

Fatigue is just a memory

and black and white is here before me


I now realise that this is not my day, but yours

You've given me eyes but I've kept them closed

Clean these windows so I can see outside myself

This is a new chapter the pen is in my hand


This is now chapter two

The leaves are falling


I'm starting a fresh and I walk with caution

I've moved from the wide city

Headed for a place with narrow streets


There's something beautiful about weathered walls

empty cells have the last laugh


Lose my grip and wait for the glass to hit the floor


every second gets louder and louder and louder

I cant afford to lose focus

and let my treasure chest become by tomb


Even when i'm not shaking in your presence

Even when my heart isn't boilling over into tears

Even when the reality of your sacrifice

Isn't causing me to freeze in awe


I see a path paved with leaves

from barren branches

the wind makes a way for me


I run past every tree,

push past everything,

its not what I once was but what i've become

my stride is what makes me


This is the sweetest irony

the branches break me but it's the scars that make me


Could it be that the very trials and the hardships that I go through

are the things that me a better person?


Loose my grip and wait for shattered glass

every second gets louder and louder and louder

I cant afford to lose focus

and let my treasure chest become by tomb
