On the Threshold of Eternity

eternitity is pressed against my eyelids

by brittle fists that i cannot avoid

and though each fingers grip has been relentless

the moments they just keep on slipping by

and i am now aware that i haven't always had been at this moment

sat me there sitting by the fire and blue waiting for you

and though ive been expected

i've never quite accepted that the fire had suddenly gone out



the hands will fall away, the pain appeal

the trees will say its okay

cause i'm scared that theres no answer

cause i'm scared theres no dreamers

in this life of mine there is only time

the illusion of which is gone



all my words are spread across the canvas

no one's seemed to see the things i say

and those these eyes were once those of an artist failure has relieved me of a face

and i am now aware that i am only the brushstrokes on the headstone of a man that never lived

and this oh this, is this, a life that i have failed and i hoped to be forgiven



the fire had suddenly gone out

the hands will fall away, the pain appeal

the trees will say its okay

cause i'm scared that theres no answer

cause i'm scared theres no dreamers

in this life of mine there is only time

the illusion of which is gone



so what is left

waiting to be a man

i hanged myself to the guilt to the end

with your eyes open you stand standing still

we got a lot to say, got a lot to do

boys are in the street

they just want to do what they want

we dont care how
