Curse of Logic

I watch the candles flicker low

Searching for a spark to know

If there is more than just skin and bone

Rather than standing here completely alone

I look at the sky

Checking for a sign above

Searching for a reason why

Everything must go

Dust to dust

The binary of our breath

Counting every second like a debt

Looking for logic in the gray

I wish I could believe it all

I wish I had a place to fall

I want the comfort that it's not the end

To see your face and hold your hand again

But my mind won't let the stories be

It's a hollow kind of chemistry

Facts don't bend for sound minds

Water stays water in every glass

The light is just a chemical reaction

Watching all the minutes pass

So I watch the sun

Watching as the colour fades

Waiting for the morning run

Hiding from the fray

Maybe hope is just a word

A lonely sound that stays unheard

Maybe truth is simply this

A memory of a phantoms kiss

A ghost inside a frame

The pattern of a name

I wish I could believe the myth

The holy ghost and hallowed air

To think you wait behind a gate

Safe and sound somewhere up there

But logic is a heavy knife

It cuts the tether to the sky

Leaving me with only breath

Before we have to say goodbye

Keep you in my heart

Never let you go

Safe within the dark

Everything I know
