Lullaby

Stoned, cold
These eyes glazed over
Thin, worn
These hands feel older

Like blood on snow

A soul is tainted

Irreversible

Cold and jaded

But no, not you

You kept me awake

With touch and smiles

I heard you say

When twilight comes
It'll bring a beginning
See how far we've come
Our hearts still beating

Put your hand in mine
We'll keep on dreaming
With time and tide
We'll keep on flowing

But if you fear or fall behind
I'll sing to you this lullaby
To keep you safe from the dark
Until again you're ready to try

The Old Flame

It's been too long since
I've touched these keys
They're dusted over
Just like these dreams

But on a pre-dawn morning
A thought struck me
A sentient arrow
A rekindled memory

Of a certain flame
Of a certain name
Of a certain heart
That refused to be tamed

And so I sought you out
Searched the sky
For your cloud
And yes, your words they
Still burn bright

There Must Be More

I'll break these chains
I'll dust these ties
Like an idea prime
I won't be denied

For long we have stayed
On much we have waited
Before our hearts
Has all but become jaded

Let the tired sun set
Pay it no mind
For it's the dawn that we prepare
The coming of our time
