Tombstone

down in the cit by the bay
where the city force meets the ocean god
struggling to keep the balance safe
between greed and love
my heart always looked to the sea
as it would beat within the walls
no chance of breaking free
just pounding on the walls

I got too weak for my own weight
lost body control
broken by the concrete ground
my feet gave in in the dark
this would overcome me
'till I couldn't walk and I lost the beat
knowing that my heart was on the way
to meet the ocean gods

I will not only be a memory and a tombstone
you know that living isn't even half the fun
even if death feels wrong
it keeps us moving...

I'll wait here for you
until the rain is down
here I am
in this no place at all
until it gets you
just like a birth in reverse
here I am
in this no place at all

facing down I shook
cold and scared of my own look
struggling to keep my head up
to watch the sun go down
it's weird how it goes away
and it appears for someone else
night time, day time
we need both to keep the balance safe

I was too weak for my own good
I would leave the body soon
infected, poisoned, fading grey
nothing I could do
but hold my head up straight
with will and serenity
(then) I felt my body weight
letting go of me

I will not only be resting in a cemetery
in a box that won't open up again
eaten up by maggots
a dead body is not a man
I will not only be a memory and a tombstone
you know that living isn't even half the fun
and even if death feels wrong
it keeps us moving...

I'll wait here for you
until the rain is down
here I am
in this no place at all
until it gets you
just like a birth in reverse
here I am
in this no place at all
