Lay In Silence
Sometimes I lay in silence
With my hands across my chest
Sinking deep inside it
Like the day I'll lay to rest..
Staring into eyelids
That become an open door
Thats daring me provided
I let go of life some more...
Until theres no more numbing
Of my body thats turned pale
Or nothing else is coming
From my lungs as I exhale...
Much deeper everytime I fall
Within this lucid state
Not wanting to come back at all
Which makes me hesitate...
Sometimes I lay in silence
And I gently hold my breath
Until my heart's soo quiet
That Im just that close to death ...
