Yesterday you slept like a baby
Believing in the dreams of your life
But today it’s all over
And sleep isn’t going to be your mistress tonight.
Tonight the stars shine the brightest
Tonight this world seems to be in a hurry to move on
But you lie in your bed watching with the ceiling fan
As the movie of your life plays on and on.
Yesterday you scripted your own destiny
But today a different story unfolds
And you stand on the sidelines
And watch yourself play
As someone else calls the shots.
The stage is set but the floor is still wet
For the eyes have flowed all of last night
And now the only sparkle that lies
Lies within the inferno of burning dreams
Hearts that once were ablaze with the desires of a tomorrow
Now seek solace in the castles of smoke and haze
“Where are you?” shouts someone from inside
But these doors have been closed for long
And whatever name where written once
Have long since lost in dust
Like the names written on the windshields instead of hearts
I look for your marks somewhere in this desert world
To walk away from the ways you would have walked
To be united but in my own solitude
Where the sound of my voice is not killed
By the cacophony of your objectivity
Where it still rains, red, black, blue and white of my dreams
And the six strings still strum the music of some other world.
So many roads that we took
So many roads that we walked
So many times when our mind went blank
So many times there were no thoughts
And today these raindrops splatter against our faces
Soaking each and every corner of our soul
And now when our love has ridden the wheels of desire
I wait for the moment when you would come and make me whole.
So many words that never escaped our hearts
So many things which we left unsaid
So many emotions that we went onto suppress
So many nights when we tossed and turned in our beds
And today when I stood amidst these tides
Unbecoming unraveling untying the desire with my fingertips
And now when we have came along so many miles
I know it was not our lips but rather the moments that defined the kiss.
The story it goes on again
Playing same on this side and next
The books which I left unclosed
Now my life seeps through those pores
And I exist somewhere in these gaps
Somewhere between your smiles
Like a puppet swinging by these threads
And I now live just to see another day
Hoping to find you in these streets
Waiting for the moment when you would cross my way.
These clouds want to bleed again tonight
I plead to the heavens to at least wait
Until I find a perfect place to conceal my tears and hide
Now for the first time I hate this rain
For these raindrops washed away
Your sweet intoxicating smell
And now I live to see just another day
When you would be with me
Lost, in my embrace.
I walk alone through these streets
Searching for you in every face
And every stranger that I see
When these clouds roll on
And when the rain quenches this expecting earth
I wipe my tears and look heavenwards
Praying for these clouds to requite my thirst
And the time when we met
I won’t have noticed
Even if this world would have end
And now I exist somewhere in between these gaps
In between your smile, in between your breaths
And when both of us looked for words
Even though not even our fingers touched
In those moments I wasn’t me and you weren’t you
And we were one.
A broken chair, a friend and an unlighted cigarette
Somewhere away I stared far in the distance
Through the rain and billowing winds
I saw a lot in life as it was blown away with the smoke.
Tonight clouds have encompassed again this desert town
And the dunes wait for the heavens to finally pour
But I can’t wait for these sand storms to stop now
For tonight is the night when I have finally found my home
A lonely lantern, a solemn heart and a dream of a lifetime
Somewhere hidden in these skies is a place
Where they say all your dreams come true
And I found that place finally when I fell in love with you
Through these deserts, through the sunshine
Would you be my blanket
On those cold and merciless nights
When all your dreams come crashing down
When everything wrong seems like right
Would you be the one to believe in me
Even though my words seem to be so full of lies?
Through these spirals, through this vortex of time
Would you like a ocean keep all my secrets inside
On those gray and cold mornings
When the sun is so hard to find
And it starts to feels like December underneath these August skies
Would you still be my shoulder and hold me strong when I cry
Even though I have lost all my battles
Surrendered, bowed and died
Would you still give me your lips and bring me back to life?
Why don’t you read my mind
Why don’t you tell me wrong from right
Hold my hand while I walk you through my life
A thousand stars that have lit this night
Why don’t we let them guide
As we find together our place in time.
Look deep within, look deep inside your life
For this is where all the meanings hide
Like these hidden and unsaid emotions
And all the things that we held inside
For something’s sound better if left undefined.
But if only you would have read my mind
Or read the unwritten in between these lines
And seen the truth despite the starkness of these lies
Then probably we won’t have lost what we tried so hard to find.
This morning’s dream felt so alive
Like a last remnant of night
Or an untold memoirs of a long forgotten life
It was still there when I opened my eyes.
Your love was like the only hope that survived
When all that was once mine was swept away
Like a lonely traveler lost in a whirlwind of time
Together we sifted through these sands
As this world passed us by
And in that instant when our eyes finally met
All the dreams that you had inside of you
Become the only purpose of my life.
This what I saw this morning
With a crimson tinge of sun filling the sky
All the dreams that you have seen once
Were now safe like this unforgotten dream in my eyes.
The story of my life lies forsaken
Crumbled and strewn like bed sheets along the floor
As the light of the fading sun filters through the windows
I stare and hope for you to walk back through that open door.
A thousand nights when we lay on that bed
Dreaming of things and searching for words but holding back
For something’s sound better if left unsaid
Moments flew away and with each of our breathe
We kept on plummeting through this shallow abyss.
We held each other till there was no time
And when the morning sun filled the room with light
You walked away like the darkness from a fading night
Leaving nothing but your absence as the only evidence of our crime.
All those dreams which have felt so true
Broke off like waves as they hit the shore
And I lay there trying to recollect all that you left behind
Like the bed sheet crumbled and strewn across the floor.
