porcelain / sunrise
paramita

you with the marble eyes
fragile with porcelain bones
you look at the stars and you wonder why
are you as hungry as i?
(yesterday's news but still new to me)

i can't see me
or someone i used to be
i can't see you now
or someone who used to be you
are you someone new?
are you someone i used to know?
have you been there before?
have you seen me before?

when was the last time you cried?
i think it was centuries ago
a stake through the heart
and sunrise will keep you away

waiting for a sign
paramita

screaming in the dark
you try to grasp for air
invisible at times
you start to notice
you sit and stare
waiting for a sign

can you see far beyond your imagination
in your dreams lie the meaning of your existence.

you start to twist and turn
you've got nowhere to run
your eyes are getting tired

when will you understand?
everything you see is temporary
this is what we have
we're just passing by, just passing by

waiting for a sign...
