lyrics

~

The moment I close my eyes
I see a vision made of you.
Cool in it’s small movements,
it is grateful through and through.

It’s like I’ve swimming great depth
and your beauty is the lake:
Prismatic with its spectrum,
it’s way too hard to convey.

~

When this all happen or am I still asleep?
A dream’s been made real for me - I hope it’s something I can keep.
It’s like I’ve found something I wasn’t really supposed to see:
Something so unreal, yet it rests in front of me.

The perfect shade of a Perfect Black,
Drips like ink out from a pen;
against the dark hang Seven Stars.



Lost - I can’t tell if it’s real.
I’ve tried so hard to feel;
separated from myself I cannot deal.

The loop:
the chain of gold that you hold is wrapped around me whole;
keeps me able, feeling like I’m in control.

~

This rarity is wonder, yet it’s happened nonetheless.
A gift in its own being, will forever still impress.

It’ s like a knife cuts through it and my heartbeat gets too quick.
Roses color flushes through me from your silver fingertips.

The perfect shade of a Perfect Black
Drips like ink out from a pen;
against the dark hang Seven Stars.



RARE - the sight of something like this;
Like a RED RAINBOW IN THE MIST.
How on earth could they be in my midst?


PRETTY, your hair tied back with a bow;
complicated through the grow of the sunlit strands of your hair’s silken flow.

GONE - my sight’s blurry and grey.
Without you here I will stray. In disassociation:
my life’s disarray.

HELD in the palm of your hand,
maybe then I can understand and finally find the strength to help withstand.

~
