# 24 The Weight of the World

In her eyes the world is spinning

And she’s beginning to fall apart

Every hour it is raining

And the pain has finally reached her heart

Sepia smiles, framed and followed

Now they’re hollow and untrue

Every minute she is trying

She won’t resign all the love she knew

And she feels so guilty to carry on

Although she has felt the best of the worst and died with you

And she feels so guilty to carry on

Although she carries the weight of the world on her shoulder...

In her dreams voices are stirring

Memories blurring into grey

Every morning the sun grows shyer

And inside her the shadows stay

In her mind all words unspoken

Have awoken her oldest fears

Every second she is fighting

Until she can no longer hide her tears

She feels so guilty to carry on

Although she has felt the best of the worst and died with you

And she feels so guilty to carry on

Although she carries the weight of the world on her shoulder...

Because in her eyes the world is spinning...

And she’s beginning to fall apart…

# 23 Christmas Echoes

When the world outside seems frozen
When the night grows longer yet
When lakes and mountains whisper
And there’s a dark song inside your head
When the moon seems to have captured
All that you hold dear
Please know that there’s a lesson
To bestow upon your fear..

# 22 It's the fear...

Walking a road that’s made of countless rainbows

I hear your voice inside my head

Although I’ve told myself my heart will grow back

Fear remains to be my current companion

And if I may gain time or if I may dream away

The wind in the trees calls your name

Strings tormenting my soul wherever I go

Their song sounds so painful and dead

Greeting the day, charged by our holy sun

I feel your shadow by my side

Although I’ve stayed clear of risks, the doubts will echo on

Staining the outline of another newborn day...
