YOUR KNOCK (Strings)

Pull me from this cursed abyss
I cannot find connecting strands
In a fog of hue-less clouds
I reach out for some guiding hands

Getting lost within myself
I need your knock upon my door
Wake me up before I go
Unless I should return once more

Strings too loose and strings too tight
I cannot keep the strings in tune
Smothered in the sheet of time
I fear the bell shall ring too soon

Truth exist within, I’m sure
But can I find the way back home?
Going in, I’m coming out
For Death is but a road I roam

Caught within the web of mind
I’m like the fly who cannot flee
So I turn my thoughts to you
And hope your knock awakens me

Such illusions beckon me
If not for you, what would I seek
But for all to dissipate
For you’re the one who makes me weak
