All tears, restrained for years
Their grief is confined
Which destroys my mind


An ode to their plight is this dirge
Some yearn for lugubrious silence
Serenity in the image of the coffins


Shall life renew these bodies of a truth?
All death will he annul, all tears assuage?
Fill the void veins of life, again with youth
And wash with an immortal water, age
They die,
They will always die.

Somniferous whisperings of scarlet fields
Sleep calling me and my dreams are wondrous
My reality abandoned (I traverse afar)
Not a care if I never, ever wake

Countless times I trusted you,
I let you back in,
Knowing... Yearning... you know
I should have run... but I stayed

Maybe I always knew,
My fragile dreams would be broken for you.

Today I introduced myself,
To my own feelings,
In silent agony, after all these years,
They spoke to me... after all these years

Maybe I always knew...

Think for yourself you know what you need in this life
see for yourself and feel your soul come alive tonight
here in moments we share, trembling between the worlds we stare
out at starlight enshrined, veiled like diamonds in..

...time could be the answer, take a chance, lose it all
it's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall
so rise and be your master you don't need to be a slave
of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage

I've found my way to fly free from the constraints of time
I have soared through the sky seen life far below in mind
breathed in truth, love, serene, sailed on oceans of belief
searched and found life inside, we're not just a moment in

...time could be the answer, take a chance, lose it all
it's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall
so rise and be your master you don't need to be a slave
of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage


In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage

Are You There?

Are you there?

Is it wonderful to know

All the ghosts...

All the ghosts...

Freak my selfish out

My mind is happy

Need to learn to let it go

I know you'd do no harm to me

But since you've been gone i've been lost inside

Tried and failed as we walked by the riverside

And i wish you could see the love in her eyes

The best friend that eluded you lost in time

Burned alive in the heat of a grieving mind

But what can i say now?

It couldn't be more wrong

Cos there's no one there

Unmistakably lost and without a care

Did we lose all the love that we could have shared

And its wearing me down

And its turning me round

And i can't find a way

Now to find it out

Where are you when i need you...

 

Are you there?

Feel my heart burning
Deep inside... yearning
I know it is coming

A fettered heart, waking
A tainted youth, fading
Leave it all behind
Delirious again
Mesmerise my senses
Souls entwine one more time

All our times will come
Searching oblivion
Leaving nothing but the memories of
All the things you give
They're all you'll leave behind
Within their mind

Open laughter held in distant days
Eternal stars have changed
I know that it can't be the same
There's no lament for you tonight

Feel my heart burning
Deep inside... yearning
I know it is coming

All our times will come
Searching oblivion
Leaving nothing but the memories of
All the things you give
They're all you'll leave behind
Within their mind

And time recedes every day
You can search your soul but you won't see
As we pass ever on and away
Towards some blank infinity
