Visions Songtext / Lyric

Bits of conversation

Fill my head

Tangling with words

We haven't said

Glimpses of a movement you once made

Knowing I could live

But dream instead

Wondering if you saw the part I played

Whether I'm the reason

That you stayed

Only half believing it could be

Well aware I want

What I forbade

Questioning my own reality

Doubting in my mind

The things I see

Altering perception fast as light

Do you know for years you've haunted me?

Speaking words you never could recite

Giving bliss as if to test my flight

All is but illusion

This I know

Yet more felt than objects in my sight

The world may see my skin

But just below

Simmers what I think

But never show

Lifetimes lived with you but more than this

Guessing where in your sweet dreams you go

Do you drown in memory's abyss?

Is there music

In a voice you miss?

When you close your eyes do you relive

Each averted glance

Aborted kiss?

Do you harbor what you should forgive?

Search for signs

In every narrative?

Or repel all company save one

Who is not cure but palliative?

While it's possible these things you've done

All too likely I'm the only one

And upon this thought

My vision fled

So I end back where I had begun

Nothing but the present

Fills your head

Forgetting more than half the things I've said

Shadows

Of a sacrifice you made

Knowing you could dream

But live instead
