Seize Yourself Children
The world has a softly spoken sentence
That only those wise and relentless
Can feel it pulse in their heart
Twist up a clock and let it start
With your hands bound
Your lips unmoving
Delve deep into your mind
Only consuming your time
Lean your ear to the ground
From here you'll be found
Feel the cold
Sweep over things untold
When the seasons leave you
Don't be lonesome child
When the colors deceive you
Don't feel hurt child
When the months wither away
Don't feel empty child
Let your soul run wild
Blood coursing around the lines in your hand
Caress your sanity at your only resort
And hear right here the beat of the sky
Under the world's secret lie
Listen close dear child and close your eyes
You'll find that simple word there
Then life will become fair
No fear just breath and you'll find the keys
To your heart you will fully seize
