Symbolic

I don't mean to dwell But I can't help myself When I feel the vibe And taste a memory Of a time in life When years seemed to stand still I close my eyes And sink within myself Relive the gift of precious memories In need of a fix called innocence When did it begin? The change to come was undetectable The open wounds expose the importance of Our innocence A high that can never be bought or sold Symbolic acts - so vivid Yet at the same time Were invisible Savor what you feel and what you see Things that may not seem important now But may be tomorrow Do you remember when Things seemed so eternal? Heroes were so real... Their magic frozen in time The only way to learn Is be aware and hold on tight I close my eyes And sink within myself Relive the gift of precious memories In need of a fix called innocence When did it begin? The change to come was undetectable The open wounds expose the importance of Our innocence A high that can never be bought or sold Symbolic acts - so vivid Yet at the same time Were invisible

Ashes and promises share a bond Through the winds of change Words are blown away When visions that should be Are tattooed in your mind The power to let go Is sometimes hard to find The answer cannot be found In the writing of others Or the words of a trained mind In a precious world of memories We find ourselves confined Claws so razor-sharp Ripping at the spirit Promises a potential to hurt Is anything real? When forever is to be until Deep inside, in the world of empty words... No escaping from those haunting empty words... Do you ever feel it? A craving that is so strong To by thought rewind in order to find Expectations that shined through the doubt That soon would turn into the price Of what a word will be worth When tomorrow comes To be and we are left Standing on our own And seeing what is real... The answer cannot be found In the writing of others Or the words of a trained mind In a precious world of memories We finds ourselves confined Claws so razor-sharp Ripping at the spirit Promises a potential to hurt Is anything real? When forever is to be until Deep inside, in the world of empty words... No escaping from those haunting empty words... Empty words... Empty words...

Wherever we go, whatever we do Your shadow is not far behind our steps And our breath Protecting and watching all... Observing spirits on the wall What are they telling you? Following all instincts that are pure Oblivious to time that may be the cure Sacred is the gift that they have without knowing Serenity is knowing it's safe from destruction of time Maybe we could take a step back And discover what leads us to attack Time that is short - distance unknown For them, each day life has just begun Observing spirits on the wall What are they telling you? Following all instincts that are pure Oblivious to time that may be the cure Sacred is the gift that they have without knowing Serenity is knowing it's safe from destruction of time

Crossing the line into the other side Emerging as prisoners To the emptiness of time To the left and to the right From behind - they're out of sight Plunging into a new-found Age of advanced observeillance A worldwide, foolproof cage Privacy and intimacy as we know it Will be a memory Among many to be passed down To those who never knew Living in the pupil of 1,000 eyes Was it overlooked in front of all our faces? Now, all the mistakes and secrets Cannot be erased Viewing the blind complexity By which laws were justified To erase simplicity To the left and to the right From behind - they're out of sight Plunging into a new-found Age of advanced observeillance A worldwide, foolproof cage Privacy and intimacy as we know it Will be a memory Among many to be passed down To those who never knew Living in the pupil of 1,000 eyes We are enslaved now...

Guilty until proven innocent We condemn your soul and fate Never mind the possibilities Too busy for logic or to calculate Take part in a diminishing breed Where complex turns to simplicity When pain is acknowledged Frivolous calculations will be abolished Without judgement what would we do? We would be forced to look At ourselves emerged in lost time Assuming what may be Without judgement Perception would increase a million times Distracted by the imagination That experiments with ease If you could taste it, it might be addictive Where life will crush those who defy Take part in a diminishing breed Where complex turns to simplicity When pain is acknowledged Frivolous calculations will be abolished Without judgement what would we do? We would be forced to look At ourselves emerged in lost time Assuming what may be Without judgement Perception would increase a million times

The journey begins with curiosity And evolves into soul-felt questions On the stones that we walk And choose to make our path Sometimes never knowing Other times knowing too much Filtering out the bad that holds us back... Take hold of what is true to your hunger A hunger that will not go away Plans for tomorrow, they will remain Won't you join me on the perennial quest Reaching into the dark, retrieving light Search for answers on the perennial quest Where dreams are followed, and time is a test No time for mental crutches The maker has moved on I will take it raw and be on my way Those that stood beside me I'm glad you understand Behind these written words I share the simple plan To hang on to the way that we feel From rivers of sorrow To oceans deep with hope I have traveled them Now, there is no turning back The limit, the sky I ask my questions: Why? What today? When tomorrow? Filtering out the bad that holds us back... Take hold of what is true to your hunger A hunger that will not go away Plans for tomorrow, they will remain Won't you join me on the perennial quest Reaching into the dark, retrieving light Search for answers on the perennial quest Where dreams are followed, and time is a test
