The other side

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Know that I have never been
- The more I feel, the more I see -
An enemy of your decree

Nonsense will not get a meaning
 even if reduced to ashes now
Turn those words around 
 and put them to the same again

   decisions fleeing as you seek
   floating into higher plains
   catch them when you try to make
   another prophecy from scratch

you know me too, too well to want to know me
and I know them too, these demons locked within

One by one, just not too quickly
Steps come steady as the matter starts to flow
Do you hear the jester jingling 
 trapped inside my fears
Now that all those thoughts move freely
 Reality's no answer to accept

Hard to believe that I am there 
 and you are here
But so far away 
 no matter 
 how I wish to reach you

I can't wait to see what comes
when this waiting comes to an end
then I hope to go beyond
the limits of this life
to live these stories and these tunes

and it hurts so much 
that I can't leave
from here
to live 
in there
