Cloud Nine
Just for a moment, I’m once again found
My feet momentarily touching the ground
Been more than forever since shoved from cloud nine
Fallen from heaven, a home I called mine
If just for a moment, before you reply,
I’d like to confess my heart’s still in the sky
There it remains, on the stand side our bed
Along with the promise of bliss in my head
I guess I was blind from the haze of our love
Or faint from no oxygen miles above
I guess the light shining around us was fake
Bound by the halo you took time to make
Guess I’m momentarily trapped by your spell
Forging a heaven that’s clearly a hell
In settings somehow just a breath from sun’s shine
Fooling my eyes on exquisite cloud nine
Through years since I’ve fallen, I’ve morphed to a soul
That’s practically soulless, a vapid black hole
Is now momentarily filled in my chest
But solitude’s pain is, in truth, for the best
‘Cause, moments ago, when I saw my reflection
I realized that I now decide my direction
I don’t need your lies to protect my frail youth
From this moment on, I’m defined by the truth
Your ice walls are crumbling, melting at last
But now I have vanished, the moment has passed
And you’ll walk this earth with a tear in your eye
And each moment wonder and glance at the sky
