I stood amidst a sea of green and sky-blue spots
Unable to draw lines and connect the two dots
My hand was shivering, the metal had not melt
The mask that hid the face of pain no other felt
Watch him run, heroic, the thing he’s done – ignore it

You fought with devils, demons, beasts that you had raised
Along the missing lines, you wouldn’t find your place
The tears turned tides washing away your sins
So much, you haven’t been the same girl eversince
Watch her run, heroic, the thing she’s done – ignore it

The garden breathed a sigh the two would never hear
Outside of paradise, he turned away in fear
The snaked had tricked him, he could not resist her treat
The tree of honesty too sweet, it spelled defeat
Watch him run, heroic, the thing he’s done – deplore it
