Waiting Between Worlds
She was alone in a bathroomEyes fixed like a statueWrists soar and her face bruisedShe just waiting for more bad newsNow she's white like a full moonAs she can't bear what the test provesAt a crossroads, need a rescue'Cuz what she gonna do
Hold onShe's waiting between worldsWish she could tell 'em hold onI'm waiting between worlds
He was looking at a pale sun riseThinking back on the time gone byHow he loved and he laughed and he criedHow it all was a blink of an eyeNow he's looking at the shake in his handThinking how much more of life can he standAnd how many years can he cramBefore his fate gives way and he's ash in the sandAnd is it the last stop on the roadOr the next step in a path grand and unknownA milestone formed from the fruits of his waysOkay in what comes with the end of his daysBut the sun's rays shine on a face so divine"An angel of mine" goes the phrase in his mindWise to the signs, knowing soon is the timeBut he isn't ready to say goodbye
Hold onHe's waiting between worldsWish he could tell 'em hold onI'm waiting between worlds
4 AM when she woke to the soundWalked to the door in her bedtime gownPoliceman said that her son's been foundHe was shot in the head near a club downtownAnd the terror in her heart was profoundHer legs broke down, she collapsed to the groundAs the walls were spinning all aroundHe said "ma'am please you need to come right now"So she's sitting down dazed in a cop carSwerving through lanes in a maze where the crazed areAnd locked in a haze from the shockThoughts frayed as they stop with here stomach in knots"Lord please end the nightmare"Are the words in her mind as they raced inside"Lord please end the nightmare"In the hospital ward in the eye of the storm"Miss, I regret to sayThere's not much hope I can give todayThe assault took much of his brain awayWe've done all we can but his state is graveBest case here is he'll live on machinesWith a vegetable quality of life foreseenOr instead we can pull out the feedLet him live his last moments and he'll pass in a dream"
Hold onWe're waiting between worldsWish she could tell 'em hold onWe're waiting between worlds
Waiting between worlds that divide through a choice undefinedA break in the line where all paths intertwineAnd no roads lead or progress behindAnd all signs read: "Know The Way. Decide."They say all things never truly dieBut change in existence and switch designLike a drain to an ocean in which we're blindWe remain set in motion from worlds combinedSo if I had one thought that would last and holdAmass and fold over as it fastly growsAnd fuse into life like a fabric sewnClasp the vast field whence existence flowsI'd say settle down, of your grief let goThis world's nothing more than a magic showThough tragic at times and encased in woeIt all works out, of this truth I know
