Paths less taken
Faces with no souls
Voices unheard
How many hearts have been broken?

Torn and tattered
Hair dishevelled
Hatred and lust, they bind
With their souls left behind

As the day fades into night,
Where the stars shine bright
They mingle, they dance like clusters of delight
A quiet evening beckons me
With a glass of red and a nice cool breeze
That gently caresses my face
To ready myself for a good night's embrace

The days are getting shorter
The nights are getting longer
Time to rest my heart a little
Onward to the next chapter, my dear

I've been told before
That it's typical of me to talk about our past
Fraught with shadows of our lives
Stricken with love and lust

I've been told before
That I'm broken
Time is going to heal the pain
So I could love again

I've been told before
That I'm a fighter
Clothed in courage
Who's ready to take the stage

A city of blinding lights
An archipelago of unearthed minds
Take away the tension
Let the creativity flow
No matter the darkness of this road we go
There's always a great story waiting to be told

Born in a thunderstorm
I was on my own
All these years
I lived with the tides
I'm still breathing
Boy, am I glad to be alive

You can take a stab at my heart
And rip it apart
Over and over again
I flinch at the pain
You wouldn't know
But you just take it slow
While I go with the flow
Never have I thought
I could deal with such a blow

Waves are crashing
I am slowly drifting
Head above the water
My feet can't touch the ground
But you're not around
