Stay here, stay in the moment
Where the blooming of spring never ends
Lets go down by the willow tree
Roll with the hills till we make our ascent
All I imagined is all that I see
Gardens of flowers and warm summer breeze
Theres a place where no trouble is seen
Everythings perfect
But its all just a dream that I have when I sleep
Through a winter that never ends
Open, open your eyes to
A world of all that can sadden your heart
Color absent from all I see
Skies are grey and the streetlights are dark
Lost in a sea of sad faces and hearts who claim
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
With words far beyond reproof
Still I remain unconvinced
All these years, weve hoped and weve dreamed
For a final escape, but to no avail
All I hear... the infinite buzzing of vanitys lips
Forming words for the eager in ear
Theres a man reciting the words of his god
In a room full of pliable hearts
Each word, teaming with fire
Consumes any reason thats lingering near
Every word will precede a great cheer
To affirm that the problem could never lie here
And on goes the shifting of blame
What I wouldnt give to go back to that place
Just to feel the warmth of the sun shining down on my face
The smell of young roses in bloom
Id gladly spend the rest of my days in that afternoon
I cant bear to look at another sad face
In this town riddled with fear
Close your eyes, well make our escape
Shake the dust off your feet
Dry the last of your bitter tears.
