The Hallway from Avalon by Lian

The moon shines in your eyes like a flashlight
Cold to the bone, you're not home
You're in between here and there
It's been so long, no, it's actually been never
That you felt your feet where they meet the ground
In the cold of December

And you say

Is this where it all leads to?
And if so, can I stay?
Or just like sadness and butterflies
Will it all go away?
Between this place and the next
Meet me there
Leave your shoes in the hallway
So we can choose when to walk

Sail away or step ashore, or do neither
Your toes crave the sand
That place of metamorphosis between sea and land
In the dark of the darkness
In the light of the moon
You have left some belongings to make sure
You come again

And you sigh

Is this where it all leads to?
And if so, can I stay?
Or just like smiles and dizziness
Will it all go away?
Between this place and the next
Meet me there
Leave your shoes in the hallway
So we can choose when to walk

And you hurt and you dance
And you grieve and you love
And you fall and you jump
And you cry and you smile
And you break and you heal
And you sleep and you wake
And you work and you fly
And you scream and you sing

Is this where it all leads to?
And if so, can I stay?
Or just like snow and summertime
Will it all go away?
Between this place and the next
Meet me there
Leave your shoes in the hallway
So we can choose when to walk away
