Hunted Like Thieves - Impermanence

I just awoke from eternal sleep 

My abandoned soul is marked 

from all these restless months and weeks

Countless hazy days followed by wakeful nights 

Without a break I ran the gauntlet 

can’t you see my tired eyes?

Sometimes fate strikes relentlessly

destiny comes knocking at your door

Could I have seen how much you were in grief? 

Please make sure we won’t 

make the fault to turn back time

Cause all these moments in deathful stillness 

These questions of which I can’t answer one

Sudden reminders of fragility

I’m at a loss for words

In your quest for substance

let me give you solace

At times you were a stranger 

a puzzle I could not solve

I’m so exhausted and deranged

but it was all worth fighting for 

You will always be worth fighting for 

With every rising sun 

I see grace in imperfection

These times of impermanence 

made me aware that we are nothing 

without the ones that we hold dear

Silent and humble I’m standing here 

and sense your presence

Silent and humble I’m standing here 

thankful for your presence next to me
