I might as well catch my breath
And make it more than certain death
I am sure my heart will bend
Like this on which my mind is pinned
Like some picture on a board, you see
The memories last for eternity
But the color will fade into the past
Until it is renewed at last
Into the fire of hope I go
I might get burned but never know
Letting those dissolve away
Like that picture every day
What makes reality burn so bright
And my eyes consume the sight?
Etching paint into the cracks
I want to fix all that it lacks
Maybe most would disagree
And if it's you that's chasing me
I'll escape but I won't run
Am I here, the only one?
And make it more than certain death
I am sure my heart will bend
Like this on which my mind is pinned
Like some picture on a board, you see
The memories last for eternity
But the color will fade into the past
Until it is renewed at last
Into the fire of hope I go
I might get burned but never know
Letting those dissolve away
Like that picture every day
What makes reality burn so bright
And my eyes consume the sight?
Etching paint into the cracks
I want to fix all that it lacks
Maybe most would disagree
And if it's you that's chasing me
I'll escape but I won't run
Am I here, the only one?
Dust lost against the wind
Never to be seen again
Scattered far and wide to see
Not a single harmony
Riding like feathers upon a breath
Birds of thought are put to death
Upon their own source of regret
Where pain and solitude once met
No one saw that fateful day
When all of love was thrown away
Never to be seen again
Scattered far and wide to see
Not a single harmony
Riding like feathers upon a breath
Birds of thought are put to death
Upon their own source of regret
Where pain and solitude once met
No one saw that fateful day
When all of love was thrown away
