Eyes on the Horizon

Time looms from up high,
As friends come and pass by.
Dreams bear a price, no zeros, no lies,
Lone apples amidst the serpentine,
Where skies are boundless, there's always light.

Ah,
Lanterns dim on cobblestone (I stand),
Pre-dawn's embrace, yet I yearn for shade.

Ah,
Heaven seems so distant (step by step),
Yet we all need respite to find our way.

Silence loops on repeat,
Arguments echo in the night,
In the clamor of the city,
This cycle never sleeps.

Mama stands like a mannequin by the window,
Has pawned your heart, your soul.

Doors creak open for troubles,
If you leave, just say you're out.

Regaining them seems less sure,
Candles flicker on the balcony, not the Patriarch's steps.

If time's the healer, then eternity's the toll.

In the quiet before dawn, shadows call,
May daisies whisper what words have failed.

Soft gestures leave lasting marks,
We all seek a pause to chart our course.

Silence loops on repeat,
Arguments echo in the night,
In the clamor of the city,
This cycle never sleeps.
