Skin of Tomorrow

[Intro] --- From warmth to dark to comfort, A path too narrow to acknowledge, A glimpse of childhood, tears of joy; Just sorrow led on by discomfort, Disrupted by the bells of knowledge That there would be another toy. [Bridge] --- And while the earth rotates with me, A voice inside my heels starts yelling, Climbs up my thighs, through guts, and rests. Then silence comes, foretelling wounds and hugs and sweets and pests. And friends and once a darling pygmy. [Whispered] --- A pygmy pet, a dream so real. [Chorus] --- I rode the sands in waking slumber To dreams of heaven, broke asunder, Anchored afar without contusion Against the silence of confusion. There’s darkness in my smothered soul, A silence scribing yelling tones. I found horizons through the rocks And see my future: sculpted blocks. [Verse 1] --- A cave’s my world and fire’s burning, With shadows dancing on the walls, Temptation turning into yearning Until a voice from outside calls. [Verse 2] --- How can one trust, or safely answer? Why should I stay and play with embers? When will returning be an option? Whom should I blame now I’m in motion? [Chorus] --- I rode the sands in waking slumber To dreams of heaven, broke asunder, Anchored afar without contusion Against the silence of confusion. There’s darkness in my smothered soul, A silence scribing yelling tones. I found horizons through the rocks And see my future: sculpted blocks. [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 3] --- So many embers now ablaze Set fire to my mind at once. As I set foot outside the maze, Amazed about the clouds that bounce. [Verse 4] --- And so, the howling desert storm Rips me apart, then sends me flying From mountains of unwanted form Into the oceans of my crying. [Chorus] --- I rode the sands in waking slumber To dreams of heaven, broke asunder, Anchored afar without contusion Against the silence of confusion. There’s darkness in my smothered soul, A silence scribing yelling tones. I found horizons through the rocks And see my future: sculpted blocks. [Electric Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] --- I don’t surrender, I keep walking Through greens and yellow and through white, Not caring anymore for tears, As loneliness is not in sight. [Backing choir] --- Anymore. As loneliness is not in sight Anymore. As loneliness is not in sight Anymore. [Outro] --- No matter how the embers burn Or how the sand grips every step, I walk ahead and not alone, I walk toward a better end. [Fading instrumental ending]
