In dreamland grandeur
I held mesmerised peace
Innocence breathed again
A mind1s escape
Leave walls of tears behind
Ethereal vision haunting still.....
The solitude left me blind
Beneath an open sky
Sibilant cries of youth dying
Enslave me with grief
A moonlit era, oblivion1s twilight kiss
Wishes in lament
Happiness in a broken vision
Utopia still unborn.....
Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden
I longed for her beauty
Yet from dust, she returned
The dream, an enigma.... silent
Tonight your soul sleeps,
but one day you will feel real pain,
maybe then you will see me as I am,
A fragile wreck on a storm of emotion"
Countless times I trusted you,
I let you back in,
Knowing... Yearning... you know
I should have run... but I stayed
Maybe I always knew,
My fragile dreams would be broken for you.
Today I introduced myself,
To my own feelings,
In silent agony, after all these years,
They spoke to me... after all these years
Maybe I always knew...
As I drift away... far away from you,I feel all alone in a crowded room,Thinking to myself"There's no escape from thisfearregretloneliness..."Visions of love and hateA collage behind my eyesRemnants of dying laughterEchoes of silent criesI wish I didn't know now thatI never knew then...FlashbackMemories punish me again.Sometimes I remember all the pain that I have seen.Sometimes I wonder what might have been...Visions of love and hateA collage behind my eyesRemnants of dying laughterEchoes of silent criesAnd sometimes I despairAt who I've becomeI have to come to termsWith what I've doneThe bittersweet taste of fateWe can't outrun the pastDestined to find an answerA strength I never lostI know there is a way,My future is not set,For the tide has turnedBut still I never learned to live without regret.
