Some days I wonder
Other days I slumber
All the days that I dream of
Fade away

And as I go to sleep I try very hard
To count the sheep but they keep moving on
And I run after them but they end up flying
Like cherry blossoms during the summer

I tried very hard to be a good person
But the butterflies flutter around me
They are afraid that it'll hurt them
That I will destroy them
But all I wanted was to feel an embrace

I don't understand why the flowers wilt away
Or why the apples turn brown and wrinkly
But I know

Is that the season come and go
And the times passes me by
All I want to go is sleep here with you
And forget the death that surrounds us on all sides
All I want to do is be here beside you

But life is creeping up and snatching us further apart

Flowers they flutter and shrink

I want to remind you of broken prayers
That we can always leave this world behind
But then we will have less time
So we will let time control us
I don't want to leave this world behind

All the colors they shine so brightly
And they fill my vision with a vibrancy I didn't see before

All I wanted was to live forever
But we all know that's impossible

And the world keeps changing colors from green to brown
The morning dew freezes up and shatters
Due to time

And the world will fall apart
I will have you in my arms
I know the pain's too much
Don't forget me

The pain will never fade
It will live inside our brains
We try to escape its grasp
But we're firmly in its clasp

But this is our purpose
All in due time

In The Name of Life

Life will shatter and grow from the burnt ground again

All the memories they grow like trees after snow
But they will never stop
When a person's heart stops beating
I will make sure that their soul lives inside you
So that you don't wilt away like the daisies of yesterday
I don't want to lose your friend
Your the only thing I have

I realize its all dream
We're you ever really there
Or was it a figment of my imagination
Trying to comfort me from

The Name of Life

Pain surrounds me
Like meadows of daisies
They are white and so pure
Against the burning

And I'll close my eyes
