Seashores & Riversides

I hear the sounds of prays when hope comes far too late and you will feel discouraged by this vicarious hate so hold on I see our beauty fade our love will lose its grace but we will find disclosure in every screen we break so hold on hold still what never was, never will so hold on hold still we can change the world from here so where will this fight take us? now we have so much to lose and we will miss the wholeness in every step we take so hold on hold still what never was, never will so hold on hold still we can change the world from here

we might live long enough to see this fear turn into a sleepless dream is this anxiety or lethargy? so why can’t I feel anything? I know the weight it will have on me breathe life, mourn death, it’s all between a fleeting pleasure, a fantasy a newborn life, an old need to breed so will our future cease to bleed? I know the weight it will have on me tonight it's ok to go play outdoors curfew has ended so bring down the walls
3.
we say in cold silence do you remember me? we lived holy moments now they just disappeared no one will keep this in their memories can you hear the silence a fading harmony we tried but couldn't find it now this can never be why should we keep this in our memories? we say in cold silence still feel close to me? miles now have become light years and days now have become years so why should we turn this into a memory? in every dream that fell apart the overwhelming sense of start all naive thoughts like "it's forever now, we'll never be apart" and all the seas I had to cross and all the songs I've learned to love but I would give up everything I've got just to be in your arms

there’s somebody else who’s trying to silence her words but now she’s tired of fighting to be somebody else there’s nowhere else she’d go after learning the truth never return to the place she should be somebody else everybody calls her name even though she’s not the same now that they have taken off her rightful crown all that really matters now is the world will pay somehow dreams of arrow rains and beheading those who broke their vows there’s somebody else who’s trying to live in her shoes now that she’s tired of trying to be somebody else but no one else will ever see what she’s been through cause she’ll never want or expect empathy from nobody else everybody calls her name even though she’s not the same now that they have taken off her rightful crown all that really matters now is the world will pay somehow dreams of arrow rains and beheading those who broke their vows nothing really matters now cause the cavalry is coming and they all now will give up and kneel down She’s claiming her throne again Only this time, she’s ruling the world again Only this time, she’s ruling the world again Only this time, she’s ruling the world again

soon this will feel like long ago as if years away from home and all the things we’re longing for they happened so many times before and where has the beauty gone to? Is it lying somewhere between me and you? watching the seasons come and go and we linger on wouldn’t look so old had we stayed all night wouldn’t look so young had we danced till die so is there any wonder left in all your fondness for the past? watching the seasons come and go and we linger on wouldn’t look so old had we stayed all night wouldn’t look so young had we danced till die I feel it leaving me numb, high and dry I feel it blinding me my prying eyes I feel it holding me wasting my time I feel it over me until I die

remember when we thought we were the only special beings? but still we shared the same old plans and everybody's dreams "I will build myself a tree" remember all the promises made and we could not achieve? the things we whispered to each other and we were blind to see "we will build ourselves a tree" all the seeds we gently grew and we have left to die all the seedlings we have killed now we cannnot deny all the love that we have tried everything to believe but all I got is all these branches without leaves and now I think we are not the ones that we were yesterday no one can hear us so this time I've got something else to say "I won't build myself no tree" all the seeds we gently grew and we have left to die all the seedlings we have killed now we cannnot deny all the love that we have tried everything to believe but all I got is all these branches without leaves . all the seedlings we left to die all the love we were trying to find all the things that we dreamt to try are never coming true
7.
you were in my wildest dreams of distant lands and seas pictures, charms and souvenirs are all that’s left to keep And I waited all my life for this moment to arrive but now it feels so out of time we both know we just love goodbyes in my heart there are secret keys that no one’s ever found with you I shared my fantasies a world with no locks around and the sun will set and rise in seashores and riversides so wipe your tears hold me tight we both know we just love goodbyes we both know we just love goodbyes
8.
we'll never see another day or another night in the same way now we have opened up our eyes and we have come to realize we can make this life much more now all our senses are reborn in things we never felt before so push the envelope and see a world of possibilities in my breath, my skin, my heart and when I held you in my arms we were in commune with the gods a sacred beauty so divine in failed words and broken signs we could hear the silence my head it flows among the stars in a dazzling wheel of shining lights all planets will now realign my head it flows, my ego dies with all my time
9.
whenever we tried following the trace of dark clouds in bright blue days we wait for what don’t understand some twist of fate or sleight of hand I will walk in the rain until I can see you again A thousand days of wrong things to say A storm will come to wash them away No shelter can save us from harm No distance can set us apart I will walk in the rain until I can see you again I will see you again I will see you again I will see you again
