Starbuck
by Emily Richards
He lies trapped in a wall
'Cause the winter was longer but he had flown home
April snow wrapped itself down and around
He sought warmth and shelter
In heat he would drown
Is there anything after the darkness
When the lights go out is there a hand
Is there anyone there to hold onto
Is he alone now
We're all taught of the circle
And that's fine 'till your friends ride a plane that goes down
Emptiness claws at you, rips quite a hole
Quiet is torturous
We're left warm alone
Is there anything after the darkness
When the lights go out is there a hand
Is there anyone there to hold onto
Is he alone now, now it's turned cold
Speculation of a kind man
Waiting and welcoming home
Gives diminutive feelings of comfort
What if obscurity lingers and light never comes
We each hold a shovel
With the days come the digging, preparing for cold
I've finally found love for one on the ground
But the fear of the end and the losing counts down
Is there anything after the darkness
When the lights go out is there a hand
Is there anyone there to hold onto
Does the coach of the lifeless stop in Wonderland
Is there anything after the ravens call
Do the ghosts breath in silence and sleep in sand
Is there anyone there to hold onto
Does the coach of the lifeless stop in Wonderland
Is there anything after the ravens call
Do the ghosts breath in silence and sleep in the sand
Is there anyone there to hold onto
Is there anyone there to hold onto?
Is he alone now
Is he alone
