threshold

new light, the puzzle is completed
your foe, yourself, defeated
so rise and shine, break free

new light, now all lies bare and open
the fears, the dreams, the hope and
the truth for all to see

new light, the time has come for healing
embrace all these new feelings
outside, there's so much more

new light, the masks at last have fallen
so please no more stalling
get up, step through the door

unleashed

lightning, thunder, heavy rain
footsteps, breathing, feel the pain
conscious, knowing, wide aware
bruises, fractures, hard to bear

water, silver, broken voice
bastion, shelter, soothing noise
falling, rising, all the fears
cleansing, burning, free the tears

seeing, grasping, every clue
freedom, power, overdue
bursting, roaring, firestorm
trembling, kneeling, be reborn

resonance, catalyst, collapse

tremor at culmination's egde
with the force of a thousand echoes
in their resonance walls crumble
at last the visions take a shape

it can't be
i can't be

one last longing drops its disguise
as flashes, whispers, neon breeze
unveil the sweet and brutal catalyst
where the heavens scream a name

can it be
can i be

basking in the afterglow of the dream
the collapse arrives gently, almost playful
everything clicks into place
the right place, the only place

it is
i am

blasted mind

here's to the densest fool
climbing, crawling, stumbling past
over, under, into the forbidden
sweetest fleeting fantasy

ever when you scratched the surface
every chance and invitation
yet the thought remained elusive
never crossed this blasted mind

in the shadows, in the corners
always softly unaware
toes dipped into the forbidden
sweetest fleeting fantasy

every second near the deep
every time you could have dived
yet the truth remained elusive
never crossed this blasted mind

all the signs and all the moments
small and harmless, big and scary
to shily peek into the forbidden
sweetest fleeting fantasy

every glimpse into that world
every hint of this potential
your true self remained elusive
never crossed this blasted mind
