Chariot of comfort
Verse
Reflection on the mirror is telling a traveller’s story
Let me walk you through her journey, journey travelled
Accompanied by misery … oh this monkey is forever on
Her back, in her travelling luggage she had also packed hope but
It isn’t there … she probably lost it along the way, double martinis
On the rocks is her only lifeline keeping her at bay,
Her tears are her lullaby every night singing her to sleep
The depth of her loneliness really is ocean-deep …
Her memory gallery is exhibiting a painful past
Through her misery she is silently screaming:
Interlude
“I am kept in solitary behind these bars of pain
Serving me meals of bitterness, anger and shame
Inflicting grievance on these yesteryear scars
Conceiving blurry thoughts it sometimes feels
Like living it’s a fuss
Bridge
Oh she’s silently calling … I heard her saying:
Chorus
Chariot of com fort
Take me to a place
To a sanctuary of happiness
I wanna feel alive again
I wanna be at peace with me
Liberate me from this pain
To the state of liberty
I have to find a way x2
Verse
That empty stare on his face tells a story
That gaze let me enter you into his house,
Which now is less of a home, he’s cocooned
In a haven of shame, failure and broken dreams
He drew away from himself, identity changed
Like seasons, fooling his surroundings but from
Prison, which is himself, he can not break free
He is like a fish swimming upstream in
A river of pain
He’s trying to escape without
Letting go … he is his worst enemy
Through that stare I can hear him saying:
Interlude
“Thoughts which are dark, precedented by ugly deeds
Because of them I am seemingly lost in a world which offers nothing but a cold shoulder
The nightmares of broken dreams playing peeping tom with their cut stares
Sharper than a dagger, seriously wounding me
I am bleeding thoughts of pain
past failures like hounds are hunting me down”
Bridge
Oh he’s silently calling … I heard him saying:
Chorus
Fades out
