The price of dreams


Dreams of freedom
Couldn't see where it lead
Dreams of flying
Couldn't know I had to fight
Dreams pursued
Couldn't understand their price

Everything has a price
The dreams, they asked for my soul
"What is a soul?", I asked
The path you chose
The beliefs you had
The world you built
The life you led

The language of the world, it speaks of dreams
Either pay or let me go, I heard
I looked around, found the voice of my dreams
The Dream catcher, waiting for my decision

Fear clenching my throat
Closing my eyes, I envision my dreams coming true
Fear to lose the reason to live
My internal demons blathering, it's too late, you waited too long
Fear, waiting for my decision

Wheels turning, river flowing, wind blowing
The universe called my bluff
At every turning point, I paid the price
I fought, I killed, I died
I won, I lost, I reborn

My world torn apart
My path destroyed
My paradigms, void
The price paid
The dream catcher smiles at me

My decision stands, I will go on paying the price
Following my dreams, living the life
My new soul, the old soul, the eternal soul
Life it's bound to have

Flying over the mountain tops, reaching farther away
Flowing through the water currents, flexibly finding the way
Where this road will lead me
Now I know, to liberty

Dark Hole

There's darkness everywhere Around me, into me I can't see the light anywhere I can't see the way out Come and get me Take me away from here Do you love me enough to come here? Do you care enough to go through the trouble? Maybe I'm alone in this journey Maybe I have to find the way out by myself Get up, get out, get away The night threathens to engulf me whole My sadness is so deep you can almost touch it Will you love me when I'm gone? Will you still remember me when I'm not around? I look up and I understand The darkness is only the absence of light But your presence in my life is my light How can it get better then If I'm here without you honey? Honey, honey, come and get me Take me away from here

There’s nothing left

Was it ever real, was it ever forever Like an unborn child, I mourn the loss of what never was If it was a test, we failed How can what was supposed to be strong die so fast Fast is not easy, letting go is a process Even after everything we went through you still don’t know me You still don’t see me, you can’t have me without giving you all From the cliff that we would fall There’s an emptiness blowing like the wind From the story we would write down There’s nothing left After everything we went through you still can’t get me But now it’s too late, it’s too late to die It’s too early to be reborn and where does it leave us In the nothingness in-between you don’t see me inside The void, the lust, the love, the fight, I will never lie If only there was a way to die and be alive, then we would know what it was You listen, but you can’t understand, because you forgot how to use your soul to read mine Now listen, when you walk down the streets My...

Twin flames

I had to leave you before we even knew each other And yet we know more than most people ever learn through their lives The warning signs were obviously there We just chose to ignore each and every one If I only had never known what talking to you was like If I could have one more day with you I’d listen close to you I’d close the distance I’d touch you I trusted you, and you were trustworthy But now my heart is torn Could it be any harder To leave you without ever knowing what could have been To live my life without you To go through the hours without hearing from you Not knowing what you’re feeling Could it be any harder To know yet to be obligated to forget Am I free to choose to follow my destiny? Or to listen to my heart?
