We sketched our dreams
Under bespangled twilights.
We hurled crimson lanterns
That lit up vanilla night skies.
We stole nightingale voices
To greet the break of dawn.
We launched paper sailboats
And ignited the morning sun.
We sacked the spring meadow
On the most glorious noons.
We ravaged a thousand lilacs
And looted the fragrant blooms.
We ruled an army of livestock
With golden crowns of hay.
We felt like kings and queens
On those spontaneous days.
Not knowing that our summer
Would end too soon.
Now we're searching for Utopia
Under these city skylines.
While riding restless elevators
And running out of time.
Something we all once had
Quite a lot on our hands.
But we forgot our royal origins
Now our empire is gone.

You got bored of the earth
So you grew a pair of wings
Plucked some stardust
Above the azure skies
As you rode primordial winds.

Your feathers bathed in freedom
Wore a crown of scales and a toothed beak
Your wing claws held your glory
All the monsters of the old world
Were nothing but crumbs under your feet.

Your descendants stormed Mount Olympus
And greeted the gates of Selene and Helios
All the winged gods shed their plumes
Both in envy and in shame
When they sang the dawn chorus.

The Phoenix was your ascendant
And its flaming blood was in your eyes
You are the genesis of a new progeny
That outlived the annals of time
A saga of flight through eons and eras alike.

A rusted coin sinks
Feeding the lightless abyss
Of forsaken dreams.

People change
Like the weather.
Today they will shine
The sun for you;
Only to bring the longest
Rain into your life.
It's easy to find comfort
In their radiant smiles;
But don't be surprised
When they couldn't care less
About the rumbling thunders
You'll have to get through alone.
Stuck in the puddles of the past
And drenched in regrets;
You have to walk forward
And seek a new refuge
Amidst the darkest storms.
Hoping that the sunbeams
Will pierce the skies again;
So you could face the world
While this time knowing that
People change
Like the weather.
