We Stumble – Second Language

We Stumble

I am waiting once again
In silence, in limbo, no motion in this void
All my thoughts replayed in endless loops
Circling memories, chasing my own tail
Run round through fiery hoops

We stumble in the darkness
Stumble in the darkness
Tumble into sharp, blinding light

I am fading with the light
In shadow, unfocused, an outline in the dark
Slipping out of phase, a phantom from your past,
Just one more snapshot you'll process and press
Between the pages at last

We stumble in the darkness
Stumble in the darkness
Tumble into sharp, blinding light

Your eyes cannot deceive me, your touch betrays each lie
Still you walk away from me, away from you

No message is relayed, all lines have been cut
I will look back on each secret we shared
Though the windows to your soul are shut

We stumble in the darkness
Stumble in the darkness
Tumble into sharp, blinding light
