From warmth to dark to comfort,
A path too narrow to acknowledge,
A glimpse of childhood, tears of joy;
Just sorrow led on by discomfort,
Disrupted by the bells of knowledge
That there would be another toy.
Bridge
And while the earth rotates with me,
A voice inside my heels starts yelling,
Climbs up my thighs, through guts, and rests.
Then silence comes, foretelling
wounds and hugs and sweets and pests.
And friends and once a darling pygmy.
Whispered
A pygmy pet, a dream so real.
Chorus
I rode the sands in waking slumber
To dreams of heaven, broke asunder,
Anchored afar without contusion
Against the silence of confusion.
There’s darkness in my smothered soul,
A silence scribing yelling tones.
I found horizons through the rocks
And see my future: sculpted blocks.
Verse 1
A cave’s my world and fire’s burning,
With shadows dancing on the walls,
Temptation turning into yearning
Until a voice from outside calls.
Verse 2
How can one trust, or safely answer?
Why should I stay and play with embers?
When will returning be an option?
Whom should I blame now I’m in motion?
Chorus
I rode the sands in waking slumber
To dreams of heaven, broke asunder,
Anchored afar without contusion
Against the silence of confusion.
There’s darkness in my smothered soul,
A silence scribing yelling tones.
I found horizons through the rocks
And see my future: sculpted blocks.

Verse 3
So many embers now ablaze
Set fire to my mind at once.
As I set foot outside the maze,
Amazed about the clouds that bounce.
Verse 4
And so, the howling desert storm
Rips me apart, then sends me flying
From mountains of unwanted form
Into the oceans of my crying.
Chorus
I rode the sands in waking slumber
To dreams of heaven, broke asunder,
Anchored afar without contusion
Against the silence of confusion.
There’s darkness in my smothered soul,
A silence scribing yelling tones.
I found horizons through the rocks
And see my future: sculpted blocks.

Verse 5
I don’t surrender, I keep walking
Through greens and yellow and through white,
Not caring anymore for tears,
As loneliness is not in sight.
Backing choir
Anymore.
As loneliness is not in sight
Anymore.
As loneliness is not in sight
Anymore.
Outro
No matter how the embers burn
Or how the sand grips every step,
I walk ahead and not alone,
I walk toward a better end.
