Within a Golden Grain

These steps won’t end
I don’t know when
The sun became my enemy
A long time ago we were friends
Now my skin is blistered
Poisoned from the past
Stagnant in the sand
Where my bare feet drag

Why can’t I see the light
Reflecting up ahead
When does this dry spell end
And new life begin
Send out a search party
I’m caught in a golden grain
Will my thirst ever be
for a heart that isn’t sore

The sky is telling time
Many days we’ve slept
I can’t be sure how many sunsets are left
How did I slip
Can’t let it drag me down
All I can do is live
And hope I’m doing it well

Why can’t I see the light
Reflecting up ahead
When does this dry spell end
And new life begin
Send out a search party
I’m caught in a golden grain
Will my thirst ever be
for a heart that isn’t sore

How do I follow my myself
When I can’t hear my own breath
The day is beating down
I’m lost in the abyss

If I could wrap myself
Inside some fiery rays
Let myself gather
In a golden haze
Watch me while I’m ascending
Smile and cue the band
Send home and rescue

Don’t worry about where I’ll land
