Loose Ends

Climbing a mountain
In darkness
Stranded alone on the ledge
Every attempt that I make to hold on
Pushes me nearer the edge

Sensing the changes impending
My thoughts are diffused by despair
I feel like I'm swimming straight up
Underwater
Desperately racing for air
I'm racing for air

And the chords struck at birth
Grow more distant
Yet, we strike them again and again
And we plead and we pray
For a glimmer of day
As the night folds its wings
And descends
Exposing the loose ends

Surrounding myself with possessions
I surely have more than I need
I don't know if this is justice
Hard earned
Or simply a matter of greed
A matter of greed

And the chords struck at birth
Grow more distant
Yet, we strike them again and again
And we plead and we pray
For a glimmer of day
As the night folds its wings
And descends...
Exposing the loose ends

And the chords struck at birth
Grow more distant
Yet, we strike them again and again
And we plead and we pray
For a glimmer of day
As the night folds its wings
And descends...
Exposing the loose ends
