Sweet anodyne
Healing my wounds
Mending a broken heart
Relieving my stress
No more pain
When I feel you near
Sweet anodyne

Forgetting the past is easy you say
Nothing happened, nothing ever will
Shattered my heart with those words
Are we cool you ask
Hesitation
A forced nod
A lie through the pain inside

Hello, hello
Bidding farewell to this world
The golden highway opening
Access to the world I once belonged to
The cold mist lifting the veil
Allowing me to see clearly

Hello, hello
I can finally see the world
And all of its beauty
Looking through the glass
Realizing
I was there all along

There, there
The world can say what it wants
Remember there are others
With a sense of compassion
Those are the ones
Worthy of your kindness
Dry your eyes little brother
And shine like the starry nights

Feel the breeze running through your hair
Flowers blooming along the green, green grass
Colors painting the world
Adding life to this bleek place

Picking a flower or two
Celebrating the coming of spring
Where Mother Nature announces her return
Giving life to the earth

Her Heartbeats defining my expenses
Dominating what I can hear
Water being marketed
With special additives

Lost in this world
Where getting by
Involves selling my soul
The devil having the upper hand

And I sold myself
To be relatively unknown
Within a known circle

Raindrops falling
Lightning flashing
No silence in the air
Just the ongoing film

Fire warms us
To protect us from the cold
Eyes stuck on something entertaining
A moment frozen in time it seemed

Our film is halfway over
The ****** beginning an ascension
You are there
I know

We are there
Watching the happiness occur in a remote place
As if we were there
Living the life we were supposed to have been given
