The Hills of Reverie

Speechless because you’ve gone away
I woke up, so out of breath today
Hold me safely in the blissfulness of yesterday
Can you just forgive me for my negative ray?

Cast me away into the sea of hope
I roam in the hills of reverie on my last rope
Come around and set me free from bondage
All is gone away and I’ve been selfishly speaking another language

Mourning for the loss of delight
In your eyes of fear and fright
Drowning in fire all over again
I hide away in my lonesome den

There’s no way to say that I’m sorry for all the things I’ve done
The reason I cower away from the light is because you’re gone
What have I become? Someone else in this skin?
I have become so numb from deep down within

Wandering around the town of tribulation
Believe in me…save me from desolation
My head is above the surface of your agony
Sometimes, it’s too much to take in in one day really

Wounds like these can heal in a few days or so
You remain alive amongst the ruins that set you low
Many blue moons passed us by when I spend my time with you
I’m certain that you and I can survive this tundra so true

Let’s roll down the hills of reverie…
Forever lost in the meadows of my mind’s eye
When I’m with you, I feel truly free
Sunlight smiles down on us as we jump so high

Please…let this moment last a lifetime…
Turn me on with your touch so sublime
But, you’ve gone away with the therapeutic music of your heart
The past can’t undo what will happen in the future from the start

Are you ever going to come back to me?
You’re the shadow of my every being, you see?
Every move you make lifts me up above the ground which I trek on
You’re as sweet as an apple that landed on the forest floor at dawn

Pretend you and I were together for a little while
Trying to break free from being in mere denial
Blossom brilliantly in the fields of fearless wars of stars
I’ve been depending on you to mend away the scars

Burning and churning in the pot of our last luck
Nothing lasts forever, but I don’t give a f***
You’ve gone away, but you’re still here
Honestly, I wish I can hold you oh so dear

Vanish away the vanity from our tongues of flame
Our design is like a snowflake with an elegant name
I’ve fallen so low, but you caught me by surprise
You ascend like lava from a volcano; yeah, you know how to hypnotize

Trust in the words I utter…
It’s as soft and delicate as butter
Oh, your wise in your own eyes, my clever friend
I have given you my heart from beginning to end

I haven’t ripped apart yet, neither do I want to
It hurts to let you go and you haven’t a clue
Enough with your articulate lies and your bittersweet goodbyes
You wait for my weak spots to show…you haven’t defeated me, so don’t you feed me your pissed off pies

Broken, but still strong with no regret
You loved me a thousand times, but I ask for ten times that amount
I can tell that your uncomfortable and upset
I guess I must make my leave without an urge to grieve…how many times did I do so? I’ve lost count

Reveal to me your secrets and your regrets along with it
My heavy heart won’t weigh me down in this cold, heartless pit
Fading away from the atmosphere of your merciless ways
You betrayed me with your words of worthlessness these days

Led astray by the glistening auras that I’ve been seeing for years
You made out with me with your mesmerizing mouth of cheers
Got me hooked by your bizarre mannerisms
You showed me visions of a billion prisms

You’re my one and only
I’m no longer that lonely
Don’t blame me for your lack of space
I know you want to be left alone just in case

Stay with me for an eternity
You’ll see the other side of me
I know that I am crazy in love
In the rubble of my radiant rivers of vitality from high above

I am sorry that I act so coy
Modesty honestly is a gift I’ve cherished
Since I was a young boy
You’re sugar and I’m salt in this recipe that will be vanished

Satisfied to the max
Come on and relax
Take your time because I ain’t in a rush
I have always adored you, so hush

Happiness happens to the best of us some say
I am going to sleep now since you’ve gone away
Look after me, even when you’re far away all day
Can you just forgive me for my negative ray?

Cast me away into the sea of hope
I roam in the hills of reverie on my last rope
Come around and set me free from bondage
I’ve been selflessly pushing away the problems like murky water under the burning bridge
