Closer To Comfort

(album: Reverberating Silence - 2019)

She's been hovering with only one ticket in hand
It's one way, no return
Excited with lessons to learn
Never the same, the second she landed in the rain
No turning back now
There will be better days
Her state of mind is positive but that's soon to change
Her dreams keep fading
The colors desaturate

(I know, I know)
Oh her dreams keep fading
The colors desaturate
(I know, I know)
A world shaded black and grey

She was brave starting out
But the life she craved
Brought destruction upon her faith
Holding on that maybe one day she might be saved
Every moment she let slip away
Brought her closer to comfort
So now she stays
Closer to comfort
So now she stays

Years keep passing by
So lonely with no change in sight
There's no fear, no concern when
Deciding which substance to burn
Never the same, the second she landed in the rain
No turning back now
There will be better days
Her state of mind is positive but that's soon to change
Her dreams keep fading
The colors desaturate

(I know, I know)
Oh her dreams keep fading
The colors desaturate
(I know, I know)
A world shaded black and grey

She was brave starting out
But the life she craved
Brought destruction upon her faith
Holding on that maybe one day she might be saved
Every moment she let slip away
Brought her closer to comfort
So now she stays
Closer to comfort
So now she stays

How long have I been dreaming of a better life?
And what's left to find if I'm just living to survive?
Months turn into years, but I'm still waiting here

The love that I left behind
No one to blame but myself this time
I will take back what is mine
My every reason to be alive

She was brave starting out
But the life she craved
Brought destruction upon her faith
Holding on that maybe one day she might be saved
Every moment she let slip away
Brought her closer to comfort
So now she stays
Closer to comfort
So now she stays
