SWING IN THE WIND

Relentless days...

No yearning to wake

Lacking the courage to begin

How do I relate

The bitterness of hate

Conveying the swing in the wind

To wake up without you

Paralyzed by fear

Echoes of memories

Whispering in my ear

I bar them to the bedroom

Entomb them once again

But there's always that swing in the wind...

~~~*Chorus*~~~

When it moves...I envision you

Eternally bound in your youth

When it sways...I recall the way

I relinquished myself when I lost you

I endure life...It's wearing thin

There's always that swing in the wind

~~*~~

Deep in the recess of my mind

There is a memory 

Like shadows stealing 

Through the dark

I can hear you laughing 

As I push you higher

Towards the sky

On a swing

In the park

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

When torment comes

Cloaked in our midst

Death screams through elation

The blow's a fatal fist

Emerging through terror and din...

An image of...

A swing in the wind

~~*~~

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

And when it moves...I envision you

Eternally bound in your youth

When it sways...I recall the way

I relinquished myself when I lost you

I endure life...It's wearing thin

There's always that swing in the wind

~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~

There's no eluding...

I don't pretend...

I am the quarry of

The swing in the wind

~~*~~

~~~And when it moves~~~
