The Last Time

Verse 1

Watch a spark reignite

Hold the fire until it burns

Keep desire sweet

Forget what we've learned

I hide behind my eyes

Until my thoughts dissolve

As words are set alight

And worlds evolve

Chorus

Let's retrace our last mistake

Escape time and all it takes

You and I

Eye to eye

No questions, no Lies

Lost in the last time

Verse 2

We safely take these steps

Above what we recall

With no more pride

There’s nowhere we can fall

Let blood rush through our veins

To flush shadows away

A final scene

A final replay

Chorus

Let's retrace our last mistake

Escape time and all it takes

You and I

Eye to eye

No questions, no Lies

Lost in the last time

Bridge

So fall into the future

And wherever it goes

Leave the smoke and mirrors behins

For the last time

Inertia

Beautiful fires burn

And bubbles float until they spit

You made your bed

She lay in it

So there you are

And there's our story spilt

So now I’ll learn to live

With your guilt

Until we find the place

Where gravity meets space

Rise above it all

Free from the fall

Taken by Inertia

Betrayed by the fire

As time taught times to scald

You took what was sweet

And turned us cold

Though I try to run

My hope won’t escape

So I’ll just regret

Your mistake

Until we find the place

Where gravity meets space

Rise above it all

Free from the fall

Taken by Intertia

A fought force is free to take its course

The fallen words have flown

We are alone

As the world spins around

Hold me here

Hold me now

Don’t look down

Oh let’s find the place

Where gravity meets space

Rise above it all

Free from the fall

Taken by Inertia

Roots

Heads above the ground are free to breathe

And the air washes over our scene

But the roots beneath us stretch to fetch the water

So let the truth between us lie

Let it lie

For you and I

Won't you put your eyes on me

I’ll be everything you see

Though maybe these scenes aren’t what they seem

From the surface to the air

My oh my how our gardens grow

‘til my eyes show you all you dare to know

Summer leaves the fall to takes us to winter

Unmoved- as life around us dies

Let it die

For you and I

Won't you put your eyes on me

I’ll be everything you see

Though maybe these scenes aren’t what they seem

From the surface to the air

So put your eyes on me

Scenes from seeds we planted long ago send roots

Scenes from seeds we planted long ago send roots

Paint memories with fantasies

"You and me"s with "meant to be"s

From the surface to the air

Won't you put your eyes on me

I’ll be everything you see

Though maybe these scenes aren’t what they seem

From the surface to the air

So put your eyes on me

Find Myself Lost

Quiet memories collide

They trace the turning of the tide

We knew that innocence was frail

Temptation ruled to twist the tale

With mixed emotions, fear and lust

The habits, turned to instincts, turned to dust

You couldn’t face solitude alone

Now I know your face better than my own

So I’ll run

Run like I can hide

To the sun

Til hopes and tears collide

And I'll find find find find find find

Find myself lost

It’s time for out time to expire

So kill the chorus of fire

We can’t relive the pretense

That reality made sense

Stuck in your mirror I was free

Only to reflect what I could see

As it shattered I was cursed for a time

Still I know your face better than I know mine

So I’ll run

Run like I can hide

To the sun

Til hopes and tears collide

And I'll find find find find find find

Find myself lost

Find a reason

Find a rhyme

Why the absurd

Meets the sublime

Now if I shut my eyes

I'll see you

Cos I know your face better than you do

Kaleidoscope

V1

I could peer into your mind's eye

See shapes twist and colours grow

To lure me away

From things you deny - the things I know

Reflective symmetry

Hypnotic as you call

I could fight what I see

But I let myself fall

CH

And I fall as I'm mesmerised

Drawn to the colours of your lies

A trick of your eye

Trick of my mind

[Kaleidoscope]

V2

As beautiful illusions taint my vision

I watch shapes merge and colours glow

A perfect projection

To take me away from all I know

Deceptive symmetry

Drowns the warnings through the wall

I get too close to see

So close that I fall

CH

And I fall as I'm mesmerised

Drawn to the colours of your lies

A trick of your eye

Trick of my mind

[Kaleidoscope]

BR

Rearrange the twisted motion

You change your colours - change your ways

Still drawn in by devotion

I'm captured by your gaze

Lost in your eyes

Mesmerised

Waterfall

v.1

Shallow waters kept us high and dry

‘Til poisoned daughters came to spoil the sky

Your eyes saw more than mine hoped to reveal

I couldn’t hold your gaze - I hoped I’d heal

Our smiles were sore

Our faces were worn

Waiting, knowing

The clouds were torn

But as they rain down

I am reborn

Now the water, water falls

Watch the water, water fall

CH

I’ll stand beneath the waterfall

Let the water take my tears

Dilute the times that tainted me

Until my memories run clear

v.2

I question answers I gave long ago

As time shows more than I could ever know

Ears ring with what cannot be undone

I can blame nothing but what I’ve become

The weight of your world

Is on my shoulder

I fought its force

That made colder

Now the sky opens

And I behold her

Let the water, water fall

Watch the water, water fall

CH

I’ll stand beneath the waterfall

Let the water take my tears

Dilute the times that tainted me

Until my memories run clear

BR

The darkness brings temptation through the walls

And finds a way to spoil what I recall

Until I find the waterfall

Live to Tell

I know I’m right

I know you’re not

Injustice has me

Fighting all that time forgot

The lines were crossed

The walls were built

Now we can't go back there

I can't live with your guilt

So I live to tell – and speak to survive

While I watch these wasted thoughts thrive

I’ll keep running – but I won’t arrive

‘Til I stop

Thinking ‘bout thinking ‘bout you

A stolen moment

These thieves move fast

To take the thunder

From a time – not built to last

Envy’s not pretty

I’ll leave it alone

Alone I’ll go now

Down these roads – I’ve never known

So I live to tell – and speak to survive

While I watch these wasted thoughts thrive

I’ll keep running – but I won’t arrive

‘Til I stop

Thinking ‘bout thinking ‘bout you

It wasn’t love but

An angry obsession

All ignited by your

Vacant expression

I'll fight my instincts and

Rose tinted recollections

Remember that the only difference between

Lonliness and freedom

Is my perception

I live to tell – and speak to survive

While I watch these wasted words thrive

I’ll keep running – but I won’t arrive

‘Til I stop

Thinking ‘bout thinking ‘bout you
