OPEN DOORS

We knew the time would come to pass
But you never think so soon
A life is frozen behind glass
To watch the everyday resume

And watch she does as we try to make sense
Waver from black to rebirth, and back so fast

Whatever happens beyond this farewell
Surely I should be able to tell
Whatever happens
There are things we can’t see
Surely answers should leap out at me

Are we by chance or by design?
Here our truths all separate
From our departed, not one sign
As we reason out their fate

And watch she does as we try to make sense
Waver from sunset to dawn and back so fast

Whatever happens…
Whatever happens…

And now these doors would lock up the past
And see that we’re held at arm’s length
From all we loved
