Lyrics

In front of me and left unopened
A book that i know she holds dear
A tale of feverish devotion
Soaked in blood and sweat and countless tears

I wanna read it and get some notion
Of how she thinks and feels inside
Hoping that it triggers
Some long lost emotion
The kind i usually try to hide

But it's way too late for supposing
As the clouds congregate
I can't face the day
So the curtains are drawn
Hides the dawn
As the storm rises within post haste

The times come and gone
What once shone - no longer
Treading water through the rain
To focus is hopeless
A fortress of pain
So i find my mind is wandering again

Tentatively i decide to open
The cover, turn to the first page
Only to discover
Ripped out chapters
By a lover in a fit of rage

I guess i messed up her fantasy -
A journey to utopia
Leaving me with a second class
One way ticket to dystopia

And it's way too late for supposing
As the clouds congregate
I can't face the day
So the curtains are drawn
Hides the dawn
As the storm rises within post haste

I look for the answers
Encrypted in stanza's
Silver gilded chances
Never attained
To cope is to smoke screen
That part of my brain
And i find my mind is wandering again

My case for defence collapses
Lack of evidence and chapters
Lost for words or even one refrain
Yet the memories linger on
Distant summer's, swan song

The times come and gone
What once shone - no longer
Treading water through the rain
To focus is hopeless
A fortress of pain
Now i find my mind is wandering again

I look for the answers
Encrypted in stanza's Silver gilded chances Never attained
To cope is to smoke screen
That part of my brain
And i find my mind is wandering
