lyrics

This world begins in lights
that tease my conscious mind
with the sight of you
Living on these days has been so hard to take
and dreaming gets harder every time my eyes give in from the weight
My mind creates this setting in this tear fill ocean backdrop
I'm standing in the middle but it's ankle deep.

Kind words from a forgotten voice
remains in my ears and brings me to rejoice
Until I wake up again.

Love can stretch between lifetimes
and be realized through vivid dreams
But I can't stand the sight of you leaving
can I live my life through heavy sleep.
It's better just to hope that i'll be leaving by tomorrow
and the ground that lies beneath my feet
will disappear with the sorrow that binds
my heart to the world that i've come to call mine.

Let these blue walls speak to me
and tell me how it used to be
when we were young and always on the run
Or clouded thoughts of what was right
you won't be forgotten after tonight.
We all will morn as your life was torn
from the hands of all your loved ones
I'll find comfort in these faded memories.

I write these songs and melodies
on my subtle apologies
That I wish I could see you again.

Love can stretch between lifetimes
and be realized through vivid dreams
But I can't stand the sight of you leaving
can I live my life through heavy sleep.
It's better just to hope that i'll be leaving by tomorrow
and the ground that lies beneath my feet
will disappear with the sorrow that binds
my heart to the world that i've come to call mine.

Is it you i'm really talking to
your grave sight be damned
you stand right in front of me
Telling me your fine
and it will be better in the morning
I know you have to go
don't say it to me
I know you have to go
don't go again

Love can stretch between lifetimes
and be realized through vivid dreams
But I can't stand the sight of you leaving
can I live my life through heavy sleep.
It's better just to hope that i'll be leaving by tomorrow
and the ground that lies beneath my feet
will disappear with the sorrow that binds
my heart to the world that i've come to call mine
While life's falling down I can't help but feel free
Cause things that aren't real bring you closer to me.
