Devils' Calling



I swear that I'm not there yet
But as soon as my grip slip - I'll give in..
admit to myself that I am:
Daniel in the lion's den
Try and try again what the point then
if we're not God control is not an option
So the whole world around us
Goes before gone again
Telescope reactions
Microscopic satisfactions
Fire in the sky
Clouds subside
Tides high
If the ends tonight
I might try and climb the highest
I might look back with red eyes
and the sea inside with me combined
paralyzed with it all in mind
all I wanna be is I when I arrive
