Love Lifeline

Folder: 
2016

I’m running too fast,

slipping there and back

never getting out of this cloud

Kicking shadows to the past

I still ache for a lack

of the void that threatens to take me down

 

But a kiss of death’s matched

by the sweet embrace of fate,

a glittering gaze of thunder

It’s a spark that could catch

before it’s too late

Before the dark drags me under

 

It’s a love lifeline

Let’s stop wasting time

Hold tight to the things that make us real

You’re my love lifeline

a star that’s finally mine

and even though I’m falling

maybe it could help me heal

 

Empty the jar of mist

right in front of me,

still clutching the essence of us

The glacier’s edge, the abyss

always a part of me

but you keep me from crumbling to dust

 

It’s a love lifeline

Let’s stop wasting time

Hold tight to the things that make us real

You’re my love lifeline

a star that’s finally mine

and even though I’m falling

maybe it could help me heal

 

Close a soul in a cage

stake a claim in the snow

There’s finally a home for this lifeline

It won’t wither with age

it can only ever grow

We’ll be traveling forever with time
