Broken Gift

from Shiny Side Down by Victor Snow

/

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Dim light, diffused sight
Prismatic shades of gray
Muted sounds, swirl around
Enveloping with an undertow, pulling ever down

(Pre chorus)
One hand up, One hand down, One hand forward, One unbound
(Always seen, without eyes, lost in place, no reprise)

(Verse 2)
False hope, an errant trope
A grasp beyond the reach
Altered mind, further misaligned
Unmoored and sent to drift through the open breach

(Chorus)
A broken gift, given by a hand unseen, the owner marked to dwell in a land between, looking out into eternity, without means to understand its fate


(Verse 3)
Blue trees, rivers green
Close, but not the same
Dare to dream, beyond the seams
For the boundaries are well beyond the mortal frame
