Breathe...

Rain drains down the sidewalk,
trains travel under the bridge.
A lost man looks for his lover
the best of his lifes been lived.

Clouds cover up all the sunshine,
leaves fall and blanket the ground.
The lost man walks down the shoreline,
where waves take the world around.

Seeds travel over the mountains,
and settle in the valley below.
The lost man turns to the ocean,
thinking of the life he's known.

One step brings him the water,
soaks in the shoes of his soul.
He breathes the release that it offers,
there's not much further to go.

Now he knows every step is a lesson,
he's tired of the lessons he's learned.
The water takes the shape of a weapon,
to finish what he never deserved.

His hearts been in pieces for years now,
his cells have no reason to grow.
His whole life appears in the mirror now,
and soon the little mirror will explode.

Plants in the prisoner's garden
never find the light they need.
He turns up to God for a pardon,
it's one that he'll never receive.

Rain drains down the sidewalk
trains travel under the bridge
a lost man looks for his lover
the best of his lifes been lived.

Clouds cover up all his sunshine
leaves fall and blanket the ground.
The lost man walks down the shoreline,
where waves take the world around,
where waves take the world around..
