Alive and Well... In Krakow

He took a long look in the mirror
Shook his head
Felt the arms of God letting go
Couldn't breathe

It had to stop
Voices screaming out inside of him
The world was turning black
Cold, cruel and vicious

Time was knocking on a closing door
Wanting more

Playing pieces of a life long play
In which the starring actor
Makes the world go around inside his head
Then suddenly the act is ending
The lights are dimming and the music's fading

There was a woman lying on the floor
Blueish, pale
Staring a hole through his soul
There was blood underneath

The shotgun lying next too her
He mumbled "am I closer now
Is this the path that God has chosen out for me?"

Playing pieces of a life long play
In which the starring actor
Makes the world go around inside his head
Then suddenly the act is ending
The lights are dimming and the music's fading

"Cut", he said. "Let's wrap it up! We're finished here!"

Playing pieces of a life long play
In which the starring actor
Makes the world go around inside his head
Then suddenly the act is ending
The lights are dimming and the music's fading

It rained on the day that she went away
She never returned
Searching for something she'd lost on her way
She never came back

To me

It rained on the day that I fell asleep
I never returned
Searching for something I'd lost on my way
I never came back

To life

I dreamt of a mountain that I could not seize
I dreamt of a flower that I could not smell
I dreamt of treasures that I could not possess
I dreamt of dreams that were not true

She found a mountain, but would not seize
She found a flower, but would not smell
She found treasures, but would not possess
She found a life, but would not live

To where she went I don't know
But what I felt, she was close

She found a mountain, but would not seize
She found a flower, but would not smell
She found treasures, but would not possess
She found a life, but would not live
