Lift me up
Hold conscience above
Send signals crafted with love
A reminder; never give up
Fear not, the reaper

I never thought I'd find a proper end
Always thought you had let go
Thank God, it won't begin again
I now know better though

You told me lies to cover your mistakes
The one I loved is dead and gone
Told me all we built was fake
Long buried before the dawn

Was not Love that tore us apart
For I was all and more
It was selfishness, the lack of a heart
I can still appreciate the before

Thanks to you I now know
How infinitely far I can go

Mornings she'll never know
The feeling of sun on skin, the soft brush of a lovers hand, the passionate love of her dreamt of man
All swept away, thanks to the cruelty of our social age
Broken images and cracked screens, our generation failed to heed the call
A thousand likes and shares too late, she is too far gone to see our aversion to their hate
Tell me, who has won?
The victim, the perpetrators, or all of us,
Guilty as one

Hard to see through these new eyes
All those similar faces filled with new time
I recognize the sound and smell
But you won't glow like you did while we were in love

And I want to know, I want to say
All those similar warm things
I want to feel the way I did those days
But all those years have been given up

Oh, there I could see
All my time and sense could not be
Oh, there I could see
All my time and sense could not be
Oh, there I could see
All my time and sense could not be

And if I was but a different man, I would know I was right
But my hearts been broken too many times
So I refuse this mind, I refuse a muse
Would logic prevail, I would grow up

I want to walk a trail that was once mine
Until I shared it with you
But now I know that none of that is right
All those years have been given up

Oh, there I could see
All my time and sense could not be
Oh, there I could see
All my time and sense could not be
Oh, there I could see
All my time and sense could not be

A kiss goodbye,
I cannot understand
The kiss goodbye,
It knows it's end before it has come
The kiss goodbye,
It knows it's own end when it is done
The Kiss, the very last,
Never achieved everlast
A kiss you wanted to exist in a permanent state
Niente per niente, Amore mio vecchio

How sweet it was, letting go
Does not matter to me
Now that I too flow
Ever the flicker while I recall, let go
Silence for a moment
Then we begin again
A new cycle, set free from the yesterday I did see
Another dreamer, set free
Hold tight, you have let go
Oh, let go
Oh, free to go

Together, we built a fence
A white picket fence
With coats of simple little dreams
I drive by it every once and a while
I smile the most bittersweet of smiles

Eyes that call to mind vast and beautiful vistas
Warm soaring stretches of natural wonder, quietly leading into the tranquility of home
Bringing temptation to my heart, mingling with the material of my soul
Together, they dance upon your serenity, beautiful and gracious
So reminiscent of perfection, they serve to anoint the life around you with an ethereal quality
With a blink you emanate the sweetest taste in my mouth
Looking back upon you, is unlike looking at anyone else

Life,
We exist inside of her
We, the living
We, the blessed
For those who draw breath inevitably must meet
Something, so perfectly beautiful...
Being of the limitless pulchritudinous nature of life,
The poignant gift of a tear and a smile
