One Step from Chaos

What have we become? We lie
Awake at night never knowing what will be
Scorn and contempt for what materialized,
Yet you stood by me with all intensity

I’ve been staring out the window at this brick wall
And it goes up higher than I can see; of course
It’s just the neighbor’s house rising up tall
But my fears can’t make me love by force

Once upon a time we wrote the perfect ending
To a story with a queen and me as the hero
But the egg began to break when we were just beginning
I forgot the fact you can’t ever hide from the mirror

When you stand by invokes thoughts of pain
I don’t wanna stay or flee, only believe.
Teach me o teach me, so goes the refrain
Of longing love songs that once made sense to me

How can you teach me to love
When you’ve nothing to learn or see?
I only ever wanted to walk the road
Alone with you alongside of me.

Once upon a time I was moved with desire
To live a sunny life with you on sandy shores
But these words trapped in my head just won’t inspire
Me to love you all the more.

This fucking world is full of walls and bricks
Muddy waters floating in a waste of sticks
Why can’t we rise above
Why can’t I rise above

Why can’t I rise above?
