Santa Fe

Away in a distant land

Where my heart was burned leaving ashes and blood on mountain peaks

Away where I left my man with one last kiss

Where time stood still and snow crept in

Coyotes warning me to leave

With no one to hold me and no one to care

With anguish and sorrow filling every crevice

Filling my lungs with its poison and darkness

I cried out to the open sky

I looked for hope and answers for a way out

I looked to the stars for guidance

I clawed at walls caving in on me

Drowning in my own mind

Change was coming and storms were settling

Time was speeding up and slowing down all at once

Haunted by the endless mazes we walked through to get out the other side alive

I laughed and smiled through the pain and agony

I faked it in this city of entrapment that was supposed to be enchanting

Life is so meaningless

In a world full of disappointment

Away in a fairytale where we walked through fireplaces and lands unknown

Through portals in a House of Eternal Return

Through other dimensions finding our space

The lights still went out and everything turned dark

And we were left two strangers in a blink of an eye

Away in a distant land

Where I left my heart

Where I see you leaving, that image frozen in my mind

I stop and find a piece of me that is still in there

A life I once lived

A life unknown buried and forgotten

A life in a place I was never happy in

All I see is pain and tears and sorrow

All I see is the end

All is see is me and you no more

All I see is the torture of someone who didn’t know his way out of a storm

Away in a distant land on the road to Santa Fe

I say goodbye
