Hiraeth

From desert sands to the blackened night
The miles beneath my feet are tired
Soles are wearing thin
Searching for a place to begin
All I can see is failure deadlines
Watch those around me expire
Strength comes from within
Determined not just to give in
One day I'll look upon your face again
This memory is all I have for now
But I'll be fine
The world, it falls around me now
I'm losing my grip as my hands start to slip
I never meant to let you down
No man's land, paralyzed sight
The miles between I can't abide
On the threshold of your breath
Undignified thoughts start to set in
Waltz through the wasteland and push them out of sight
Keep myself within my stride
Never giving in
Oh lord, that I believe that
One day I'll look upon your face again
This memory is all I have for now
But I'll be fine
One day I'll find myself in your embrace till then
This memory is all I have for now
But I'll be fine
