Waiting

I turned and saw the hands shift across the face of the clock

Words held in the soul were set free

They spilled out into the light

My silence was broken... Everything changed

My hand rose and covered my mouth

I was left wondering who's voice had spoken

It was my truth... My jail, my tomb, my sins

That saw the lies of my life, the illusion of my identity

My heart stopped in that moment

And when the beat revived, the rhythm was not the same

Tangled in the thread that was unraveling my life

I was slammed to the cold floor of...  "What have I done"

I was left standing...  Alone

Unable to return to the discomfort of my dying soul

I looked into the night and saw the stars

I began to breathe again

I had lost everything of what I thought I was

My jail, my tomb, my sins

I saw a void in all directions...  Waiting

There, I heard my soul
