Your letter, your letter traveled far
Beneath the glow of stars
Delivered in the dark
And we never, we never skipped a beat
Like children, you and me
You made me feel complete
And time, time does as foretold
The years no longer slow
And suddenly we're old
And we're dying, while living in the past
And memories don't last
It's all just fading fast
And I read, read every word you wrote
In your sacred note
From you to me
And you want me, just as you did before
But this time you want more
It's hard to believe
And darling, seems like you're all alone
Shut in your manor home
In the country
And I'm coming
Soon I'll be on my way
There's no more time to waste
I'm ready
I'm ready

Cynthia

Late at night another vision of a girl
Drenched in moonbeams, something from another world
Scarlet secrets pouring out from mouth to ear
Bring me closer to remembering you here
Maybe it's just me
No place to put the blame
Worst of all the truths
I can't recall her name
Your face is still inside
It's never left my eyes
You beckon from the grave
Buried in my mind
And it takes me to a place
Another age in time
Before we came apart
Before we said goodbye
And I'm forever changed
I can admit that now
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I knew how
I wish that I knew how
And now I've traveled farther than I've gone before
All this time has brought me to your door
Through all these years you kept some shade of me alive
This weathered husk of me somehow survived
Survived
I remember better days
Twinkling lights, blanket of snow
We still had so much time
We still had rock and roll
Now my skin is paper thin
I'm having racing thoughts
Trying not to let them in
Seems trying's not enough
I remember simpler times
Innocence and Mother Earth
I was only just a boy
You were only just a girl
And Cynthia, my bride
When you left I fucking died
I'm so outside
Now please open your eyes

You're a stranger in my home
Where's the person that I know?
Are they just beneath the surface?
Are they hiding down below?
Come touch me with your hands
Feel my body and my skin
We've lost so many years now
Can't think where to begin
Can't you see I'm now a man?
We can finally let go
Release me from this curse now
It hurts more than you know
But there's still time to try
Only halfway through this life
I can hear your heartbeat racing
And it's getting me high
You get me high
And this feeling that we've found
Married on the playground
This can't be all for nothing
Has to mean something now
And I remember your eyes
And how they looked back into mine
And the feeling that it gave me
Freezing chills down my spine
Come take me as I am
Let me feel your cloying pain
Let me be the place you bury
Your deepest guilt and shame
And I'm sick from this distance
I want it just like before
Press your lips against mine
And you won't hurt anymore
You won't hurt anymore

Ruby Red

The bearer of souls is guided by flame
Traversing the darkness, compelled to reclaim
Some life in this wasteland, and cast out this pain
A burden he carries 'till the end of his days
Now a messenger comes from a place that has bled
And the things that he whispers, it's all ruby red
You'll wish you were elsewhere, you'll wish you were dead
But the flame must burn on, must lead all the rest... the rest

An image of pain with fire through my veins
A whisper of time and grey like the rain
I'm clinging to you more than ever before
You're not who you used to be anymore
Encouraged by night I become something else
The insect that lives inside of myself
Death on the wind as you breathe by my side
It's too late to change, it's too late to try
Yeah, it's too late to try

It was all such a blur...
Once we were playing in the rain
And life never had more meaning
I'll forever chase that feeling
I thought we'd stay the same
And we'll never be so bold
Cool as ice, fifteen years old
Running down our crazy dreams
Just wasn't meant to be
And that's how the story goes
I still can see you there
Summer nights, wind through your hair
You're in your basement room
I'm coming over soon
There's magic in the air
But I'm living with your ghost
And at night I need you close
And I thought I heard you calling
Lost to sleep I'm falling
Please stay, don't ever go...

Letting Go
03:51
|

You're dying to touch me
So won't you give in?
Is Heaven above you?
Or here on my skin?
And you say you've found
Your way around
This lonely world all by yourself
Never needed someone else now
There's a wind in my soul
And it blows me to you
We're conjoined at the heart
Preordained to be two
You can't keep me away
There's nothing that you can do
So dear, you might as well stay
I've become part of you—of you

He Died
03:30
|

He died tonight
He met with Death
Without pain or fright
He drew his last breath
Within his mind
He saw his end
A dream combined
But no way to mend
Where does he fit?
Is he part of it?
Does he have a place?
Is this as tough as it gets?
Is hope his friend?
He clings to his will
A means to an end
And time won't stand still
He walked the line
As he passed you by
As he told himself,
"I'll be just fine."
And this too is a lie...

Mythic Dawn

Is it summer where you are?
On some distant dying star
Light buried in the dark
Effervescent glowing spark
I'm screaming where I am
I'm slipping silently beneath
A story I began
With no ending, no relief
No relief
And such is life, you'll see
On it goes infinitely
We mourn a dying dream
Wrapped in amber, caught between
Another time and now
A far off lonely sea
Ethereal and loud
Water crashing over me
This is what I see
This is what I believe
The feeling never goes
Sickly sourness, honey sweet
The way it ebbs and flows
Degradation, atrophy
It's tearing me apart
Yearning for some company
You're burning in my heart
I need you to set me free
To set me free
To set me free
This is what I believe
And paradise is real
It's something you can feel
It's not a living place
Or the look upon your face
Revealing what you hold
Secrets lost that time foretold
And worth your weight in gold
Unto me your soul is sold
Your soul is sold
