Hold a moment and stop
Count to ten and then back down
So warm, soft and calm
But can you just enjoy of it now
The line that cuts it in half
Do you see it
Or is it drawn to the sand
Where water washes it away
The light, so bright
'Though small in all
If waves of despair come pulling you under
Tearing all you've built down and asunder
Restoring and rebuilding will hurt more
If you've already abandoned it before
An endless lust blinds from the true cost
A control's gone after one tiny bite
Scratches on glass, deep in or on top
A consuming intensifies time after time
The line that cuts it in half
Can you see it
Or is it a mark on a land
Drawn only to be claimed for your needs
The light, so bright
'Though small in all
If waves of despair come pulling you under
Tearing all you've built down and asunder
Restoring and rebuilding will hurt more
If you've already abandoned it before
The end of beginning
Somewhere a child cries on her mother's arms
Hopelessly in pain
While you cry for a lost piece of substance
Oh, for God's sake
What a shame
Doesn't it feel frivolous
Doesn't it feel meaningless
Doesn't it feel disgraceful
Doesn't it feel wasted
The light, so bright
'Though small in all
If waves of despair come pulling you under
Tearing all you've built down and asunder
Restoring and rebuilding will hurt more
If you've already abandoned it before
The end of beginning
Hold a moment and stop
Count to ten and then back down
So warm, soft and calm
But can you just enjoy of it now
