Mar 2016
Sitting by your side in front of a boundless sea
The sky is colored by the clouds and the silhouettes

we are talking about the future
Or what the future could hold
And as I hold you close you abruptly begin to dissipate from me
Letting the wind carry you into the boundless sea

So with every thing I have I get up and I run to follow you
I run as fast as I possibly can
But as I do the sand grasps my feet like clasps
And pulls me down with its grasp
The wind is blowing fast
And the waves are crashing at the speed of a heartbeat
And I do my best to chase you
Chase you into the boundless sea

As night falls
A man walks down from the sky
With two hands for a face
And with the moments of the day
He makes me do different things
So I could not chase you,
Chase you across the boundless sea
I will wait for you to return
Wait for you to set me free
Because I'm a slave to him  
I fear his powerful gaze and he won't ever let me go
And Father Time is a master of my life
But he can never take my soul
So my sole motivation now is the hope that you'll come back to me  
So I don't have to be a slave anymore
And you can take me to that place you speak of across the boundless sea.

And now I'm drowning
Drowning in this pain
You send me notes
Send me notes across the sea
Saying that you are coming
You are coming back to
Saying we can be together
Saying that we can escape Times grasp
And fly upon the boundless sea

The other prisoners are planning
Planning to escape
So we rebelled against Time and ran into the boundless sea
And they followed me
And I followed you
Followed you as far as I could across the boundless sea
To a land where there was no time

And I was there with you
We sat together on the shore like we used to
Things were different now
There was a greater shine
You said things were different now because of the time.

Then I began to fall
Fall from the sky
And as the ground came up to greet me I...

I woke up.
To the life that is reality
To the life that is today and tomorrow
And I moved along  from yesterday
I wish I could find out where I landed the thought wouldn't leave me alone.
But the hope that you would be with me then is now gone
Gone
Far across the sea
And you were there with someone else
While i fell into the the land of forgotten dreams
