Strange

Without a sense of stability
There is nothing I would change
I rub my eyes and the world I once knew
Has become more clear and complex
Speed is gaining
Control is questionable
But for once
The direction
Isn't
in the hands of others

Fade Away

Protecting a candle against the wind
If I let go the flame will fly
but will it die?
To stand against a power
much greater than my own
is it possible to keep
that fire?
Alone, I must choose
but with you..?
Your hands are enclosed around mine
but they fade
flickering like the flame
in my palm
the distance grows
pressing my mind until even
the densest clouds
are blown away
the answer is clear
although my thoughts
are still lost
I have been holding on
for far too long
My hands open and you disappear
Time will have to wait
because it is my turn
to move forward
I will miss you 
but in my flight
I will find my light
