I feel you in every way
I see your mistakes
And I hate you for them
And you fail when you try to ammend them
Because failure is all you know
That's why mirrors are a no show for me
Because the hopeless face of your enemy
It's in truth a reflection of your own

Please don't make me dream of you
As I wake up tired and still unmoved
Restless with a feeling of dread
And another stream of tears unproved

For dreamless I long to be again
Blind to everything that comes with sleep
The sweet in the bitter doesn't feel enough anymore
And illusions are not good company to keep

Rest assured I won't be reckless,
Rest assured perhaps I will...

So the distance is longer
These miles stretch away
No more closeness of sight but my heart writes your name
With a word, a salute, sleepy embers awake
Not of fondness of memory
But of present delight, even though an illusion
Feels so strong
So real, so right

Can the wind bring it back as it took it away?
Nothing's floating around,the water's calm at the bay
Then the moment it comes as a scream is overheard
Flailing arms, desperation and heads start to turn
All the patrons around follow him with their eyes
Mistified, frowning foreheads, watching his demise
As the emperor falls, darker clouds fill the sky
Those who watched didn't act, those who fought didn't cry
In the aftermath glory or tragedy as seen on theirs heads
The quiet returned, nothing's been learned, they lay sleepless on their beds.

What are you? How do you fit in my life?
You fit everywhere but never in the present
Future please hurry I want to be whole

I crave you always dear friend, I never stop
As I lie and say I have no hope left
It's when I find hope growing inch by inch
Liar I may be but never hopeless

Slowly and fast and alternating
Caos is vicious stopping my attempts

Please head, you know how I'm growing older
Please do not pretend, let my heart take over

A thousand looks ago
Another year has passed
So many occasions without a show
But killer stares were made to last
It all became a new sensation
As a reunion was forged in steel
A flame ignited by your presence
Whose words denied the way I feel

Like a new blank paper on a new notepad
There's a past full of lies you can disregard
And go on, like we've never met before
A chalkboard eraser makes way to new lines
Unpolished sentences became perfect rhymes
We don't talk, the hearts walked out the door

And there's a brand new day and it's meant to be better
Everyone around us say we change like the weather
We never cared, now we start steady with no regrets
You know the heart never leaves without a map to get back
You can run away wherever and act to cover your tracks
I know not how, it saves the moments we're at our best
