lyrics

Through the black and white you try to hide.
Mouth moving.
Your words are scarce.
Speak up.
or must I strain to hear your voice as it fades.
I guess it's what you wanted.
This is what you wanted.
Wanting.
Waiting.
Not enough.
Remove this veil which traps my eyes.
I'm screaming your name.
How long til I am heard?
Your precious face.
The painting across the stars.
I can't release them from right in front of me.
Detours missing.
Path is lost.
Is this what I wanted?
or was it you.
The way you move.
The echo I receive in my mind.
Your heart extended from the frame.
Built with integrity from the ground up.
I know your foundation.
Held in my hands.
Beneath my feet.
It shall not cease its function.

Awake for days I wander this valley.
The horizon is all wrong.
I can not shape the sky.
Nor bring ecstasy to their hearts.
My lungs filled.
I whisper.
Take flight I implore.
For bones are in process of breaking.
and the heart is fracturing.
What better way to enter than through the wounds.
The virus.
The antidote.
Right and wrong.
I speak what this is I feel.

I'd paint it.
Play upon a thousand instruments.
Sing amongst the masses.
Write upon walls and street signs.
If only you could see it.
That you are beautiful.
My hand is empty, and my heart is full.
Would you take this fool.
Together, can we start something new.

Found in the eyes of many.
Ridiculous.
But our love shall never fade nor cease nor dim.
For in giving you receive.
I am taken by you.
Confined to a box of white borders.
Wanting to break though.
and grasp all I love.
Holding dearly.
I let go.
You see me as you walk past.
This is suffering.
That which makes my day.
The ghost hanging on your wall.
Paused in the moment.
I recollect.
I see you dreaming.
Reality is far from here.
All that remains.
Is in where you stand.

Oh, memories are a minefield.
