Inside Your Arms

The night is spinning faster,
Spinning out of my control,
Exploding into disaster,
Pieces breaking from the whole.

A walk on a bed of broken glass,
But the cuts are never too deep,
They told me my hope would never last,
That my dreams are locked tight in the arms of sleep.

And those dreams never come true,
Outside of fairy tale,
Who I will grow up into,
Will only know how to fail.

Fail at holding onto all I know,
Standing up for what I truly believe,
I give my all with nothing to show,
But the shards of the organ upon my sleeve.

I'd give it all away,
The knowledge I possess,
The writing that gets me through the day,
If I would never live in this mess.

Give up everything that I have for one day,
Where I know what it feels like to be whole,
To feel like someone feels the same way,
All I want is to live my life full.

But I've been running on empty far too long,
Searching for the moment where happiness is within my reach,
Swimming to shore but the currents too strong,
Drowning in the undertow longing for the beach.

The beach where I could rest my head,
Inside the arms of all I need, truly, madly, deep,
The feeling of love where loneliness is dead,
Inside your arms, the unlocked arms of sleep.
