Horseshoe Journey
Watching shadows chase themselves through the night
The stars are looking down without a sense of pity
Sounds of a world that is sleeping so comfortably
And here I lay, saddled with the thoughts of despair
Feeling like the oldest thorn on a rose now blunted
Hearing passing cars, feels like a step into the future
My emotions are swirling, becoming harder to tame
They may not stay around, but they leave a little scar
Like merciless waves that batter the groaning cliffs
Synthetic lighting shows the loneliness of mankind
Clouds are forming driven by nature’s greed for war
The rain beats down on the windows like a plague of fire
It lightens up my senses, fireworks in the midnight sky
Roots of fear spread across the floors and up the walls
I tell myself it’s just a trick, it’s just a trick
The atmosphere falls away and silence hits the floor
This symbol of life, this what we have to reflect on
The paths and veins in time that have lead us here
It’s just like a Horseshoe Journey I say
Have we nearly come full circle? Or just been lucky?
