On Your Time

Dark Tranquility

neither here nor there in our unity of twine

solitary sanity, traded in for life



once we crawled into the artificial night

all was left and I arrived on your time



there in the collision

wish answers could arrive

was I kept up for this?

did the physical emotion

break the fall of sleep?



I'd never thought of things that you would say

could never tell if what you said were lies



it's in here eating

it's down there drinking

be with me, not against me

bear with it, love against me



I've never known if there was enough time

could never tell if it was done just right



an icicle thrust

to soothe the disorder

between the eyes

where the well is the deepest



and so unease carried words

that spoke of no matter

was I held here for this?

did the path of devotion stay from what you felt?



I've never seen things here in this light

could never tell it your touch was deeper than skin



once I thought that what no time can heal

is here in me - but time proved me wrong

deeper still toward an outward pride

no more lies - I'm here on your time
