Zack Hemsey - Waiting Between Worlds

She was alone in a bathroom Eyes fixed like a statue Wrists soar and her face bruised She just waiting for more bad news Now she's white like a full moon As she can't bear what the test proves At a crossroads, need a rescue Cuz what she gonna do Hold on She's waiting between worlds Wish she could tell 'em hold on I'm waiting between worlds He was looking at a pale sun rise Thinking back on the time gone by How he loved and he laughed and he cried How it all was a blink of an eye Now he's looking at the shake in his hand Thinking how much more of life can he stand And how many years can he cram Before his fate gives way and he's ash in the sand And is it the last stop on the road Or the next step in a path grand and unknown A milestone formed from the fruits of his ways Okay in what comes with the end of his days But the sun's rays shine on a face so divine "An angel of mine" goes the phrase in his mind Wise to the signs, knowing soon is the time But he isn't ready to say goodbye Hold on He's waiting between worlds Wish he could tell 'em hold on I'm waiting between worlds 4 AM when she woke to the sound Walked to the door in her bedtime gown Policeman said that her son's been found He was shot in the head near a club downtown And the terror in her heart was profound Her legs broke down, she collapsed to the ground As the walls were spinning all around He said "ma'am please you need to come right now" So she's sitting down dazed in a cop car Swerving through lanes in a maze where the crazed are And locked in a haze from the shock Thoughts frayed as they stop with here stomach in knots "Lord please end the nightmare" Are the words in her mind as they raced inside "Lord please end the nightmare" In the hospital ward in the eye of the storm "Miss, I regret to say There's not much hope I can give today The assault took much of his brain away We've done all we can but his state is grave Best case here is he'll live on machines With a vegetable quality of life foreseen Or instead we can pull out the feed Let him live his last moments and he'll pass in a dream" Hold on We're waiting between worlds Wish she could tell 'em hold on We're waiting between worlds Waiting between worlds that divide through a choice undefined A break in the line where all paths intertwine And no roads lead or progress behind And all signs read: "Know The Way. Decide." They say all things never truly die But change in existence and switch design Like a drain to an ocean in which we're blind We remain set in motion from worlds combined So if I had one thought that would last and hold Amass and fold over as it fastly grows And fuse into life like a fabric sewn Clasp the vast field whence existence flows I'd say settle down, of your grief let go This world's nothing more than a magic show Though tragic at times and encased in woe It all works out, of this truth I know
