Glimmer

Breathe in, Breathe out,

The clock keeps ticking on

Breathe in, Breathe out,

Drown out the words in the background

Breathe in, Breathe out,

There is a glimmer hiding in the shadows,

What is real and what is not?

Breathe in, Breathe out,

Synchronize with the beat of the heart

Breathe in, Breathe out,

Push down the urge to collapse

Breathe in, Breathe out,

Await the glimmer in the shadows,

Is it real or Is it not?

Breathe in, Breathe out,

Fight the urge to renounce the heart

Breathe in, Breathe out,

Await the embrace to heal the hurt

Breathe in, Breathe out,

In the battles of the world, pick the battles for the self

Breathe in, Breathe out,

Seek out the glimmer in the shadows,

Is it real or is it not?
