The Reticent

I keep losing track of time My sense of self, where I belong I keep falling deeper into the hole Disconnected, all alone Through it all, we love, we fall We hope, we fear, we fight, we crawl Against it all, willful and strong Until the waves take us Take us home My mind is racing, lost train of thought Eyes unfocused, tired of this world These walls will collapse, wash out to sea And I float along, let the stream carry me Through it all, we love, we fall We hope, we fear, we fight, we crawl Against it all, willful and strong Until the waves take us Take us home Through it all, we love, we fall We hope, we fear, we fight, we crawl

Do you remember? How we watched the moon Counted all the shimmering stars Inhaled the night Do you still remember? Do you even care? Words spoken in the darkness And the promise made Do you remember at all? How we two made the winds rise We could walk in each other's dreams Run the woods in wolf's skin But I remember Still I remember You made the vows to return to me On this shore by the silent sea How we lost it all? Below the argent moon And longing still it holds me And yearning still it reigns For all this life I've waited On this blackened shore And longing still it holds me tight And yearning still prevails For all this life I've waited you Below the argent moon And I know it in my heart You will never come to me By the side of someone else You will watch the gleaming skies I shall tear down all the stars Steal the moon from heaven's arms They will never shine upon your path As you roam the endless night If I can't share the moon with you Then no one will And longing still it holds me And yearning still it reigns For all this life I've waited On this blackened shore And longing still it holds me tight And yearning still prevails For still I wait to hear your voice Below the empty skies Nevermore shall we walk again Below the argent moon
