you promised to Never let...

Close your eyes and count to ten
You begin to fade away
your shadow disappears as you step out of reach
and drift off to the land of the forgotten

(You swore we'd never break apart)

Smiling, moon let me sit on your edge
and curl up with the stars in the night sky
Which forever scream for me to take their hand and away..
..to brighter places and happier tomorrows
because the sun will never rise again
and i am left with the absence of light.

(I said I'd hold your gaze, forever)

You arrive in a purple field with gray skies
Stepping on the stones of past decisions, careful not to slip;
with a ticking clock in your palm, holding together all that you are.
Your story is portrayed in the clouds,
there's a smile pasted to her face..

(You swallowed the silence that took us further and further away)

The pace is steady as I leave it all behind
Calm sets in as i come closer to sleep.
In all the vacant places, I'll find eternity..
My memories no longer sustain me
with all the longing that clings to the room
..i remember sun

(Slip your hand in mine, once more)

Your world broadens, your mind expands
Forming faces in the current of the river
Whispering secrets in the foggy breeze
...time is running out...
You need an escape,
tick, tock, goes the clock
You wind it forwards--and already know how the story ends

(Threatened, you kept me close)

Surrounded by a familiar darkness
I can feel the stillness in your chest
As moments change, and we find each other once again.
...collapsed in the other's embrace,
we shook...

(never let me go)
