Moonflower - In Vice Versa

The familier ring of my alarm clock

Waking me up at half past eight

Everything seeming normal

Till I assess my mind’s state

I quickly inject the numbness into my brain

Keeping the demons at bay

An endless stream of traffic lights

As I submerge myself into the fray

My ear drums captured the sound of your laughter

As you were chatting away

The light illuminated in your eyes

Always gave me hope for a better day

What if I came to you that night

Instead of being locked in my selfish ways?

Maybe then I’d be beside you

Falling victim to your graceful gaze

Eyes turned to the sky

I ask why is this happening to me?

If you’re truly the god they say you are

Why put me through this misery?

The people stirring around

Prancing on with their fancy lives

As I am stuck standing here

A stone statue with shattered eyes

Now realizing

Her spirit lies

Inside of me

(You were never gone)

Now fearlessly

I stretch this path

And she walks with me

My tears betray me

As they flood the trench beneath my feet

Buried beneath my covers

I can’t sleep and I can’t eat

My heart is empty

Yet it is sleeping isolation

I nurse this newfound loneliness

As the base of my foundation

Kneeling beside your grave

In the darkest shade of night

My year drops have now become

Messengers of the light

And upon the spot they fall

A most mysterious sight occurs

A moonflower blossoms

As my life joins with hers

Now realizing

Her spirit lies

Inside of me

(You were never gone)

Now fearlessly

I stretch this path

And she walks with me

(You were never gone)

You were never gone!

(You were never gone)

(Shes with me)

From the air that I breath

To the soil beneath my feet

Her presence is with me

I will carry on

Interlocked as one

Her spirit’s within me
