Certainty

Certainty

it starts with almost nothing,
but then you feel the fire.
it builds from just a feeling,
but then your need turns dire.

you don't know where it came from,
and you thought you wouldn't dare.
you don't know what will happen,
and you don't know if you care.

do you see the confusion?
where do you think this will lead?
do you feel the commotion?
why do you feel so much need?

certainty. certainty.
all I would need is certainty.

why do you keep me from certainty?
how could you take it away from me?

it hurts more than anything,
my world now turns to ashes.
your silence so demeaning,
my heart falters in flashes.

I would still like to believe,
but I know my trust is broken.
I would yet want to prevail,
but I know my hope is token.

do you see desperation?
why don't you care anymore?
do you fear conflagration?
why to make me feel so sore?

certainty. certainty.
all I would need is certainty.

why do you keep me from certainty?
how could you take it away from me?

I'm slowly drifting away,
the water reaches above my head.
I know I'm not here to stay,
a cold body remains in my stead.

Beyond the World (original.version)

I can feel the waves,
rolling on the shore.
I can feel the sand,
trickling down my back.
I can feel the sun,
burning my bright skin.
I can feel the wind,
blowing through my hair.

I can feel the freedom of a new day.
I can feel yesterday dripping away.

all my sorrows, all my hurts.
all my agony, all my burns.

I'm slowly taking flight,
leaving everything behind.

I cannot feel my weight.
I cannot feel the burdens.

I'm slowly taking flight,
leaving everything behind.

everything is like sand beneath my feet.
everything is like wind passing me by.
finally I have all the freedom I need.
finally I have cried my last feeble cry.

I'm slowly taking flight,
leaving everything behind.
I'm trading day for night,
leaving everything behind.

I'm soaring into the sky,
leaving everything behind.
I'm floating beyond the world,
leaving everything behind.
