Oh did I lose you somewhere behind the city bright lights I know this is what you wanted But I didn't know I'll lose you Where are you now? Somehow all your promises faded Consumed by the pervasive bright lights And you did everything just to have it But I didn't know I'll lose you Where are you now? I'm here picking up our pieces Trails and good old memories of you I never say i'll regret it But I hope we did learn something out of it.

Urgency in time The world has turned its wheels I'm past my time Outside your door The city and its prying eyes Had cast a shadow hovering my own I'm tired to hear your scorn And blabber about your perfect life it's porn Why dont we dare to peel off those Filters that deceive us more than what we can chew Hoping i wont past my time No! Because we are happy monday people No one deters our resolve No one would even dare to void our very souls We will put up a fight to the world We'll draw our swords Here's a toast to the glass oh brothers and foes

the clouds we nibble memories, and somber melody surround my ears it reminds me, on how we used to be when we strum a note of a life time we tease your dogs on our past time... we smoke the clouds as we pass by you promise me, eventually, we would never let go... i promise you, that i'll be true, for the rest of my life cause you remind me of a summertime the bees, the breeze, and bottles of wine the clouds we nibble as if it's mine the keys, the piano, as the melody floats by im a fake to say, not to miss you, gently how you cling your arms around me how tightly... it can be when we both cling to the moment, we trap ourselves in the silence while we trust each other's patience as we watch our roads part, we never looked back but if i had a second look i think i'll still would

hello somber and warm four corners of my room i know you heard her story before how she changed the way I looked at life, at love and loss Giggles oh smiles and tears your Walls are a witness to it all how could you not warned me that she had been faking it all it's because in your fantasy was the only time you were happy and yet she felt surreal to me or maybe im just too scared in reality the figure of smile and your schemes there's no way to forget them at all oh damn my heart and mind in thinking we could end it all
7.
moonbeams and seas across st marie of my superb mastery of jargons and bluff im nothing but none i wish i could have taken it back back from the start right back to you wish i couldve love you like before like what he does, like what i did back before. you haunted like the wind inside of a storm my emotional baggage of sort I know everything is blissful and sane right back to your cornerstone I could've done a thousand things I could have save us from this mess I know i was lame, and your reasons were lame cause we're insecured we could have done just one thing we could have trust each other again but those days were gone, you were stolen by the wind of moonbeams and seas

Pale Shadows 04:10
are you still here or are you gone amongst the haze of dust since your pale shadow it still lingers inside my room it is what's left on what w e were once I remember when the time we understand our differences and what it really means yet we were one and free remember when i used to hold your hand and speak about forever and what it means because we were one and free in space and in between i feel your hair and your skin but do you feel me too? since your pale shadow my life was never been the same im trapped here gasping for air remember when the time we understand our differences and what it really means yet we were one and free remember when i used to hold your hand and speak about forever and what it means because we were one and free

You're Summer of my fantasy We rode weasels and "might have beens You were light on my dark days I keep track of our happy hours Cause I know time's not on my side This is my realization But you're so far away from me now Not even your memories will keep me through my day I wish you're here now We sang hymms on distant stars And wrote songs bout childhood memories My sweet distraction You kept things float for awhile Before you pulled the plug on us This is your revelation It was my fault to think it's more than just a kiss when i thought i'll change your mind and make you feel the same way too I guess im wrong now outro: So long, goodbye Farewell, oh lover from my past We/I move on to the road where no one takes
10.
Time has changed us all We're left with nothing to hold on I'm scared that i wasted your time I'm trapped here in a world of changing times I wish I can go back to the time where I could mend things over again i'll patch these holes with my bare hands to stop our hearts from purging love again chor Say you'll stay for me Just hold my hand and Say you'll always be Much has been said than done We tried to fight our fears and tears But we came up short Don't blame me for all the mess we've done I did all for you and you alone bridge Why Didnt I realize that i wasn't the man right for you but i'll always remember that we tried

Midnight 05:31
sun's down, yet your smile still lingers here in my mind brighter than what they told me , truly your're one of a kind i wish time was never set in motion, by the moment when you told me, "can you stay close to me?" i dont know why i feel this way but what i feel is true i say though you might not believe in words i say i'll say it anyway, i miss you... i know your past troubles you like the way i once had there's no easy way but to face them worry not im with you,my darlimg gently, ill wipe those tears if you need me ill blow the rain clouds, far away from your eyes. oh darling, please smile
