It's all too fast
I can't find the words
To stop the floods
To stop the pain
It's all going too fast
A headlong rush forward
A headlong rush pushed by the wind
A headlong rush against time
It's all too fast
Will I find the tempo to stop
Will I find the tempo to land
Will I find the tempo to let go
It's all too fast
And I draw you to me
Like a whirlwind of faith
Am I your king?
It's all too fast
You resist
You follow your own rhythm
You don't fall apart
It's all too fast
I'm taking you with me
You don't do as I do
You slow down
Maybe you'll...
It's all too fast
& You're dragging your feet
Will you help me relax?
Will you help me slow down?
It's all too fast
You touch me
You embrace me
You kiss me
Things don't go too fast anymore
Wrapped in eccentric melodies
Senses like waves
Sometimes open inward
Sometimes turned outward
I'm lulled into many harmonious & mysterious languages
Endless journeys await me
All I have to do is let go
Close my eyes
& I'm carried away
Sounds become images
Images become stories
Stories become guides
Guides become kingdoms that come to life
Chimerical creatures
Mysteries of souls
Unknown lands
Elements unchained or grandiloquent
Places of courage
Fear
Nightmares
Trauma
Where hope is reborn
Where hope finds its strength, its origin
Where melodies guide
Where voices open paths
The two together transport us to an elsewhere unique to each of us
& when we return to the world
The layers of sound draw closer
Gain in power
envelop us
& keep us company
So what we've conquered isn't lost
& stays with us where we need it
