Angel

I sit down on the floor with my back against the wall
My head between my hands
Flowing in overwhelming memories
Of journeys through god-forsaken lands
Of tales about fire and fury
Of chants from the dying and crying

Years have flown away
Without even warning me
Of only the little time that is left
And I know now the years wanted to teach me
But I walked the path of my life too fast
Without learning more than I already knew

Time goes on even when we stop
Even when our worlds stop
Even when the words decide to stop spinning in your head
Flying around without the notion of the clock
But I'm still getting older
I notice it every day

I used to take risks
Never did I see danger
No worries about the possible consequences
Though the scars tell their own story
They show a complete different tale
Than my colourful imagination does

I do not take risks anymore now
I learned my lesson eventually
No more time will slip through my fingers
I will watch out every time my brain screams danger
And my heart screams even louder that I should go for it
No more foolish things I will do

Though I know my life will be meaningless
Without the thrilling adventures
Without the rush of a new fresh day there for me to explore
And I know I will be unhappy living the rest of my life in fear for yet
another scar

Now I sit down on the floor with my back against the wall
My head between my hands
Flowing in overwhelming memories
Of journeys through God-forsaken lands
Maybe I should take one more risk
Just jump into the deep
And get my back away from the wall
Because somehow I know
There is always an angel around to catch you when you fall
