Nature's Breath

A world so cloudy
A world that wants us out
As fate is shrouded
Our speed will hasten now
Inside the deep I see the loneliness
Deny the deep and all will fall apart
No more lies to keep you from your heart
No more lies to keep you in the dark
Time to hold it, time to let it breathe
Time without it, it’s time you do not need

Within reflections
Above the reigning skies
Over the empty
Observe the murky lies
The poisoned choices that feed you to the ground
That stormy mirror that tells you when you’re down
Just stop to think why you are so alive
Just stop to breathe and listen to the sounds
It’s time to feel it, behold what’s obvious
It’s time to be it; It’s time to feel some life

If I recover
If I can feel the truth
If I can see it
When I can rise above
I’ll be the leaves now, blowing in the wind
Adapt to seasons, feel the worthy truths
My life is precious, and time I do not have
But life is worthless if I just lie and moan
It’s time to know this, It’s time to leave the dark
It’s never leaving when you still have your heart
