Loved and Lost

You were the best part of my day
And the one I loved the most
You were my strength
When I couldn’t lift my head
And offered direction
When I’d lost my way…
You were the dream I used to have
Now a memory tucked away
You were my purpose
to get out of bed and try
And by inspiration
To be a better man than yesterday…
And I often dream
Of what we used to be
Now you are just
Another memory
I often ponder
What we used to share
Now we are nothing
To be found nowhere…
Loved and lost…
You were the moment that I knew
That everything could be okay someday
You held out your hand
To help me stand
To face every obstacle
Life commands…
And I often dream
Of what we used to be
Now you are just
Another memory
I often ponder
What we used to share
Now we are nothing
To be found nowhere…
Loved and lost…
And I often dream
Of what we used to be
Now you are just
Another memory
I often ponder
What we used to share
Now we are nothing
To be found nowhere…
Loved and lost…

Behind The Curtain

instinctual possession
a shift, parallel perception
is survival a synonym to fighting
is dying alone frightening
I'm not sure you'd like to hear
what's written in your mirror
reality not seeming certain
meet me back... behind the curtain
experiential reflection
of pleasurable connection
a dream of two, many confused
a life full of love that we refuse
do we ever remember
the coldest day in December
our memories are never certain
meet me back... behind the curtain
And I’m not sure...
I can make it
Feels like I’m running the world...
but I’m faking
I cannot be...
more than aware
we’re almost near...
but nowhere
appreciation deception
a truth that hides in confession
is together identity combining
exclusively confining
now I’m sure you’d like to hear
what’s written in my mirror
a waking dream is almost certain
meet me back...
behind the curtain (x4)

Moments forgotten, then faded away
Alone in our castle with nowhere to stay
Hearts will be broken while time still proceeds
Faith is the shadow that watches us bleed
Take it or leave it, she left me alone
Lost in a place I pretended was home
Truth should be told I was probably wrong
Perhaps there’s salvation alive in this song...
(‘Cause) you were my favorite part
I loved you from the very start
You had every piece of my heart
You were my favorite part...
Days turn to hours while time walks (melts) away
Observing her changing what more can I say (on technology)
We used to be one now we’re nothing at all
A shadow, no sunlight; a fly in a mall
You said we’re better off finding ourselves, who we are
So I’m starting my search in my glass at the bar
We’re never forever, till time comes again
Perhaps in the next life I’ll figure out when...
‘Cause you were my favorite part
I loved you from the very start
You had every piece of my heart
You were my favorite part...
