Closer to God

We live in a new dark age These times are strange One day the future bright awaits The very next day it’s bursting in flames I watch it all safely from my little hole And frankly, I don’t care at all I watch it all with a smirk on my face I’m not longer sure I belong in this place We live in a new dark age These times are strange One day nature sends us a flood The very next day a virus turns us all mad I watch it all with supplies in my hands And see them all suffer, and fight for what’s left Let me be free in my own sanctuary I don’t need your help or sympathy All I can see from here Are my fading footprints in the sand And I have no words of wisdom to offer And I am watching as The flames grow higher and higher Higher and higher They will engulf us all Come, burning fire Throw us in the pyre That’s where we belong Closer to the God that we have never seen before Closer to the mirror, the final sight before we’re gone

I’ve come to cherish and I appreciate the love I invested, the trust you gave While times are changing and the world is dark I have you and you have me, and that’s all we’ve got We left our safety and loved domains exposed ourselves to rains and trains the Darkness follows wherever we are but out in the wilderness our fears seem far You give me hope, you lift me up authentic our vows, undying our love Pray with me, that one morning we will wake up to a better world Together when we are, the sun always seems to shine the most colourful birds, they sing for us wild flowers bloom in perfect harmony, the world in tune And so, we soldier on and on deeper and deeper in the woods we get lost the world seems crazy, people gone mad there’s no right or wrong, nor good or bad Now all we’ve got, our own compass we’ll find our truths, as no one will show us the right direction, the noble path nothing has a centre and nothing made to last For a moment, we can breathe a sigh of relief that among the pure waters, our suffering has ceased But you act like you always have known that the bliss will soon be over The end I see hidden in your eyes your sadness kills me, lover Walls are being built around us, the air suffocates we are running out of time, running out of space please hold on to what little you can keep in your palm see it slipping through your fingers, say goodbye and move on

Have you ever felt lonely in a cosmic sense? No human presence can distract you From the feeling of complete insignificance This, my friend, is my permanent state now Watching a tiny leaf dance on the water surface Knowing that I am that leaf Dancing towards extinction Soon to gently disintegrate in the green pond When I close my eyes it’s stardust all I see And I’m no longer afraid of the dark Knowing that’s where I too belong
