Of Loss - A Dream

Was it a dream or did we really fly?
Eventually there is forever,
But not this time.
We're gonna laugh about it,
And then we're gonna cry,
Until our memories are all dried up.
But I promise not to forget,
Not to forget your kiss.
After all we took a leap of faith for this.
So send it back out to the sea.
Love is never what it seems,
Love is never what it seems.
...there's nothing more to life.
...there's nothing more to love.
...there's nothing more.
Now that I think of it I was drinking all this alcohol,
Did I waste your time?
Little by little we were cutting the ties.
Ahhh,
Our words look gray tonight.
Put your glass in the air,
Our best salutations.
Make your money and find you a home.
Make your money and find you a home.
Theres nowhere else to go now,
Theres nothing else to love now.
We're gonna go out one last drink;
It's gonna be the best night we've ever had'
it's gonna be one to remember.
We're gonna dance in the name of love,
And how we tried.
I see the look in your eyes;
As you sat in the sand you had the thirst,
I can see it in your eyes,
You had the thirst.
And our hearts our gonna combust,
they're gonna burst.
Love is gonna fly with us tonight;
it's gonna be happy with what we re-created.
But that was just a dream.
So send it back out to the sea.
Put that message in a bottle to forever sink.
Only the heavens will know,
How I loved you,
And how I desired you so.
I had a dream we were together,
but it was just in my mind.
Your ghost is still here in my bed tonight;
It's still with me;
It's still in the corner I see;
But that was just a dream
Love is never what it seems
Love is never what it seems
Was it a dream or did we really fly?
Eventually there is forever,
Was it a dream, or did we really fly?
No...

Old flame, new ashes.
Old flame, new ashes.
Hanging by the morning dew.
The lanterns burning bright.
Old flame, new ashes.
Old flame, new ashes.
Waiting for the night with you.
The lanterns burning bright.
The lanterns burning bright.
Bright...bright...bright,
In the name of us.
Waiting for the tears to weep,
And waiting for everything.
I wish that I would just leave,
'cause we solemnly speak.
Back when we met,
You fell from the sky,
I didn't know how to handle you,
And then I learned why.
I think I know how to do it,
But your burning away,
You're burning away in my mind.
Waiting for the tears to weep,
And waiting for precious things.
I wish that I would just leave,
'cause we're not gonna meet.
You'll just hang around like a halo.
Old flame, new ashes.
Old flame, new ashes.
Hanging out to dry for you.
The lanterns burning bright.
The lanterns burning bright.
Bright...bright...bright,
In the name of us.
In heaven, everything is fine.
In heaven, we're gonna be alright.
In heaven, everything is fine.
In heaven, we're gonna be alright.
Heaven is fine with you.
Heaven is fine with you.
It's gonna be alright.

That night,
I got drunk,
And waited for you.
To come home and rest in your bed,
I sensed something wasn't right.
It's getting late,
It's 3am,
I hear the door,
So I get up and turn the lights on.
What I see, what I see.
I see your messy hair,
as is you were filling around with some one.
Runnin' their fingers through what was once mine.
And I know we were supposed done already,
But we agreed to be a little civil.
(I couldn't handle another man)
Existence stopped then, reason paused too.
My heart melted soft,
Another man, another man
Did you like it?
What did you do?
You said it was just a kiss,
I couldn't believe it after so many hours.
I couldn't imagine another man acting upon that desire we once shared.
It was just a brief argument before we headed to bed,
To let the dreams cool us down.
Right there, I wish I could've had the moon stop time,
And prevent the future from happening.
But alas...
Time never stops.
The present's always here!
I wake up in the morning,
I count shake my head,
I couldn't shake my head,
Full of these thoughts.
My brain was fucking with me.
What did she do? What did she do?
Lashing at myself, destroying myself
I took a shower.
To wash my soul,
To wash my brain off,
It didn't work.
I stepped out.
Broken,
Body all wet,
Ideas dripping',
Ideas drippin' off in the most hastily manner.
I went into the room and said to her:
Are you sure?
Are you sure it was just a kiss?
It was just the beginning of the end.
And the questions kept coming,
Throwing them at your face,
Just like that kiss.
More lashes to my soul.
I went to the laundry basket,
And I looked at your clothes from last night.
What I discovered,
What I discovered, was true.
Desire soaked through.
I threw those clothes at you,
I heard a scream.
It was the coldest I ever felt.
And I pinned her to the ground.
I said we need to calm down just like lovers do.
We're hurting just like former lovers do.
But she reached for her phone,
To call a big man.
To come out and get me for good.
I wanted to talk it out,
But I knew I had to go.
A strange fucking violence ensued.
I lost control,
She lost control.
And Mr. Big Man walking down,
I could've killed you as I grabbed that knife,
And held it up to you.
I saw that reflection in the knife.
And what I saw,
What I saw,
Was us together,
With all those happy moments.
They blew by.
And kissed my head goodbye.
Oh I put the knife down.
Instead,
I was gonna kill you with my mind
The past, the present, the future,
We don't have any time.
I was gonna kill you with my mind.
Killing someone with your mind means forgetting.
It's human to forget.

Stolen Kisses

My beautiful angel,
Where are you now?
I just remembered,
I guess the devil walks with me!
I guess the devil walks with me!
My sweetest angel,
I would steal kisses from your mouth,
And now I moved down south.
Where does the love go,
When the devil walks with me?
I guess the devil walks with me!
Do you still think of me,
and the moments that we shared?
Those morning walks were everything.
Where does the love go
When the devil walks with me?
I guess the devil walks with me!
I wanna give up,
But my heart says no.
If I give up, I wouldn't have to think about you.
I wanna sail away.
Try this love again
Try this love again
And I prayed once last time,
Before I headed to bed.
I hoped that I would dream of her.
I hope....5am
I can finally get some rest
Figure this out
Find some closure
In love,
Health,
Death,
Life,
Death,
In love,
In death,
In love,
Love never end.
I don't think love ever ends.
I don't think love ever stops beating in your heart,
If it was really there.
I don't think love stops beating.
I don't think love stops beating.
