Every Waking Day

Black and white
A convict's stripes, but all I feel is gray
A prisoner here
I long to sleep but I can't run away

Still I know I can live, I can leave
I can see the colors surround me
Let me breathe, let me be
Let me finally break free
If only for a moment

Pernicious thoughts
Cold steel frames always bar my way
Darkened dreams
Haunted scenes every waking day

But still I will burn, fan the flames
Starlight hidden by sunfire
Spark by night, smoke by day
Illumination incarnate
If only for a moment

Painting scars through rain and fire
Demons at my door
Battles waged, campaigns lost
I fight to win the war!

Whispering screams, heaving sighs
Searing tears out of sore eyes
Empty heart, hardened smiles
Scraping for that moment
All for a moment, a moment, if only for a moment
