So tired...will it ever end?
A darkened room, I'm all alone,
my body weary from the lifelong fight.
Relax and reach out through the boundaries,
my soul will leave it's shell tonight.
Into silence I fall, the walls around me fade to black.
Into darkness I call, "Am I ever coming back?"
Escaping from the old routine
I slip into the lucid dream.
I fly to where I've been before,
a thousand light years, maybe more.
My life's so far away, at last I'm free!
The past and future...all is clear to me.
Now that I can look inside
I see the things I tried to hide.
Unhealed wounds of things gone wrong
I've kept inside for far too long.
The chains of guilt, resentment, fear, and hate,
this life repressed had bound my mental state.
Into silence I fall,
the walls that bound me fade to black
Into darkness I call, "Why would I want to go back?"
Up ahead I see the Light
but back on Earth there's still a fight.
If I don't see it through, then no one will.
So tempting just to fly ahead
and leave my body cold and dead,
but I know it's not for me to kill.
I realize that I must go
I learned the things I had to know.
Escape won't make my troubles disappear.
Off through the universe I soar
to join my mortal life once more.
I'm stronger now, it's time to face my fear.
Into silence I fall, the walls return me from the black
Into darkness I call, "I guess I'm really going back."
Now I open up my eyes
to find myself revitalized.
Returned to finish up the game
and overcome my fears and pain.
New things to face and learn from every day,
isn't that what life is anyway?
