Jack O'Lantern

Jack O'Lantern

A Poem by JayJayBlue
"

It's about seeking forgiveness from someone who's not quite ready to grant it

"
All dreams ascend into the atmosphere
We're all sitting still
As these old worlds disappear
There's a place, a graveyard
Where we're all fading
Burning amongst the stars

Let us in, let us in
Our grey existence is wearing thin

It's all in our heads
Just tell us it's all OK now
Puzzles all broken
Struggling in the dark
As you're playing God

Admitting to all of our faults
But redemption hides
Trapped in the castle vaults
And right now, here we are
Where we're all fading
Broken amongst the stars

Grant us heaven or a hell
Or wipe away all our sins

It's all in our heads
Just tell us it's all OK now
Puzzles all broken
Struggling in the dark
As you're playing God

You lit the torches
Or did you send us to the jack o'lanterns
Lured through the darkness
Is this redemption or our deaths
Or do we choose to remain
Stuck with our phantoms
Until the day arrives

It's all in our heads
Just tell us it's all OK now
Puzzles all broken
Struggling in the dark
As you're playing God
