Isn't it scenic—how we found love in each other's eyes? It was sweet, it was heaven, it was emotions large in size I remember it all too well—how the stars shone Upon us, I remember how I never felt so alone Because I'm with you, could I even ask for more? We are peace, we are closed faith and an open door The wind blows yet the sky is bright The sun shines, the moon rises, the future is in sight My love, we are doves catching waves of uncertainty Down the blunder, up against ourselves, truly Painting landscapes and escaping our ruthless story I stare at horizons, searching for eternity
Haze broke loose, I remember how it started Embers fade, hearts hide, as peace eventually parted Joy dampened, patience is all tested Trust is paid, lies are crafted and bested Searching for the reason to fight, to stay here I remember looking up and catching regrets to stir The failing greed, the illusions not spent Desires to gamble, now anger has started to pent We have a choice, I swear, we do Should I remain where I was, just for you? In the silence of the waves, I start to find my clarity But I don't find it on the horizons of our safety
Isn't it cynic—how we murdered each other in a slice It was bitter, it was hell, it was all blood and ice I saw it all too well—how we stared at our mess The way our eyes gleamed, we know it was nothing less Of hard strife, the one we kept going for years The price to pay, the vessels collecting our own tears We have a way out but we didn't take it Like foolish hearts on cue, we refuse the beat So now we look upon the cause of our misery We look in the mirror—our eyes reflected agony Turmoil in mind, should I do what's best for me? I don't know, so I look at our horizons that I care to see
Chains clicked shut, I remember how it all ended Too many nights have we spent—never rested What more could I gain, what more will I save Will I have to carry sins and guilts down to my grave? Years passed, and I never did challenge my place Decades crawl, did I ever stumble upon grace? What the future holds, do we really want to know Our place on the earth, what seed do we need to sow? In the dead of night, I sat—wide awake I remember past sins and I forgave for my sake Stood apart from the falling debris of my own sanity I realize we went beyond horizons against our destiny
