The beating of the unknown in my chest Makes the Sun too dim to behold Cloudiness emerges from my breath And I do not believe that these things I hold dear, the love, the dream, the now and then Will save me from the moment time and space Eclipse into shadows that dance across The walls of this world From where I stand Forward and backward both look the same Both beckon movements that betray the pain What, then, do I stumble towards When light, dark, left and right give me no sanctity? I crawl inside Open a window And gaze at those arabesque skies Dirt and dust Gather on my body like rust This is a mental image of trust In my soul Hands dripping light from the coal I plucked from my skin For the wind blowing home Eyes anew, the skylines hide the true When I forget myself, times might find the blue I wander for a reason To turn it back To times I didn’t leave tracks made of thumbtacks (And I feel so insecure I run away Far far away Into a dream But I still feel the same Why is all the pain still here?) The path I take makes rivers wake earthquakes The path I take makes night cross daybreak The path I take makes heart rend heartache And that’s a feeling I will never shake off So I rest, I dream, I color up a hurricane That take the pain and turn it into Novocain But when I speak, my teeth flex dried muscle Ay what’s a dream if it mean my whole mind muddled? No use in turning back To yesterday Whatever day Is long dead and gone Out of mind I’m all out of time A cry without an answer Left to die I wonder why Do all my tears create these Arabesque skies So filled with sorrow With all these shades of blue Too many shades of blue Will I believe? No, I will not believe That time will give the answer Or the reason for these Arabesque skies Then, now, tomorrow When day and night collide Is when I’ll finally know I’ll know
