The Odyssey -

The skin is the canvas and the blood is the ink

The mind is the artist but the heart is too weak

Can we pick up the pieces?

They are left askew across the void

Can we assemble the fragments?

Or are we only authors of chaos?

Somedays you were right, I felt the death creep up inside

Somedays you were right, but it was hard to agree

Somedays you were right and I finally realized

The last goodbye was from me

Hold me close, till we disappear

Like eternity’s cold hands

Taking me far away from here

We could never be

Bend the world too your desires

I would take your place

I’m afraid of what I can see

Take me far away

Drowning in a sea of empty promises

Two souls set adrift like lifeless carcasses

Set down a river of historic misfortune

I say goodbye to all we’ve shared together

As the night shrouds me in mystery

Hold me close, till we disappear

Like eternity’s cold hands

Taking me far away from here

I’m sure you’ll understand, cause we could never be

Or even more so, we could never see eternity

Turn up the heat, the radiance of your embers

Filter’s underneath as star-crossed lovers, sharing our passion of the galaxy
