i look in the mirror
and suddenly see
a ghost
swallowed by the gloom
caged by each hidden room

unwanted by many
is it an illusion?
i sure hope so

what happened to
the figure behind,
the figure i once knew.

do you feel that weight?
it pulls you down
like it's fate

do you feel those tears?
they pour quickly
but do not wash away your fears

do you feel the void?
it stays consistant
with the dreams you avoid

sweet notes of you
fill my mind

and every time i hear a love song,
it's you i find

calming aromas of hope
deep in my soul

and every time i wonder how it came,
it's you that makes me whole

it's you

success defined by a digit
all or nothing, which is it
no longer feel worth
granted i never did

chopped down with every number
burned and bruised by the red pen
but who's pen is really causing me this pain?
i'd rather not admit it
it's just success defined by a digit

return
back to earth
let the space in your head
fall behind you
and feel the wonder
each breeze that blows your way
holding memories close
each raindrop cascading down
reminding you of the realness

return
back to earth
look for the reasons
you came back
because you didn't leave space
for nothing

return
back to earth
look for the ways
you intertine with the orbit
in love
in fear
in strength
in weakness
in all

return
in all.

breathe, my dear
stay up
as long as you wish
we don't want the heavy
to stay here
so breathe, my dear
take in the world you missed

"how sweet it is to be loved by you"
oh, but how much sweeter to love you

swinging around in your arms, together
oh, i could stay there forever

you are my light, my way
here in your peace, i lay

lights surrounding us both in the night
and in our future looking so bright
