Alarmed - Rie Sinclair

I lie in sympathy

On the ground through the open door

But they never speak our hearts

Those waiting for certainty

Come around to the desert stream

But they never drink the water

And I awake to find the light

Fading from your eyes and ashes

Spilling out from the inside

And I awake to find no sound

From between your lips to the ground

Am I surprised or am I

Alarmed

Am I alarmed.

A Lantern of mystery

You walk but you never

Get another day closer to your light

I’ve been waiting by the phone

I’ve been waiting for some time

But I never know where you hide

And I awake to find the light

Fading from your eyes and ashes

Spilling out from the inside

And I awake to find no sound

From between your lips to the ground

Am I surprised or am I

Alarmed

Am I alarmed.

Am I alarmed.

And I awake to find the light

Fading from your eyes and ashes

Spilling out from the inside

And I awake to find no sound

From between your lips to the ground

Am I surprised.
