A Needle Tree

A NEEDLE TREE Bring me back to the sea... A lighthouse in the distance Reflecting on the sea Ripples hypnotizing I can almost see your face Your stare Your light Guiding my life I hope you wait for me Your warm breath Over my shoulder I feel your presence near The hopelessness wins me over I wake, you disappear I grab the fire I grab the needle and I pierce my skin, I bleed I bleed Bring me back to the water Bring me back to the sea Hell When all you care about is gone Why linger around here? Damned Just like floating on forever into this realm of fear Locked up on display Having a date with death Beyond your tortured days Beyond the years Eating away at your soul Ah, eating it over & over I'm lost All that can bring me back are the memories But they're fading away They say The needle tree is a doorway That leads to this sacred place Beyond our days Beyond this loathsome plane A maze It carries the will of us all Ah, it carries it over & over Bring me back to the water Bring me back to the sea Carry all of my sorrow Carry me where I can heal My heart racing My life fleeting All that remains Let the reaper intervene A pool Stands in front of me A tree lies over the horizon Creatures Hiding away in the shadows, whispering The traveller Uttering words I cannot hear or comprehend I am floating away... Bring me back to the water Bring me back to the sea Carry all of my sorrow Carry me where I can heal Bring me back to the water Bring me back to the sea Carry all of my sorrow Carry me where I can heal Bring me back to the water Bring me back to the sea Carry all of my sorrow Carry me where I can heal A lighthouse in the distance A family home by the sea Scattered into the ocean Now reunited with thee
