Freckled gravel path
A desert to oasis
Where imagination presides
And there suppresses un-termed loneliness of (youth)
Harbor banished souls
Friendships, born out of the dirt
Outcasts come to play what they have
Given hope to learn, while trading time for joy
As these flesh of heart
Permeate, yet emanate
Heaven, embedding rainbow ghosts
I walk along each day remembering each one
Life knows things we don't
Hiding secrets from us all
How I've lost my friends forever
But still I walk this freckled gravel path each day
Though I pray each day I will be reunited

Of a thousand nights of visions granted,
I long for the shade of night to pull me in.
Bringing me a warmth of hope implanted
In the lovely dreams I love to rest in.
At the foot of the stair in a stranger's home, I'm all but caught off guard
As I recall all my visions At a glimpse of you from afar
Why should I dream again? Light of day has brought me in
Why should I sleep and leave my love now my heart's in love with living?
You stare at me as the very same thoughts
Declare the same longing we have sought.
As I follow each breath as if it were my own
I'm cursed to keep our love unknown
Then I planned to take you away with me
I escaped, but you never joined me to be free
Of a thousand nights of visions granted,
I long for the shade of night to pull me in.
Bringing me a warmth of hope implanted
In the lovely dreams I love to rest in.

It's been a lifetime since I've seen you.
I want to tell you that I never believed the lies.
That nobody listens when I tell the truth
You've got a reputation I can't fight
But I'm here for you today
As a friend who doesn't listen to what shadows say
They're coming for you through the door
I'm not gonna sit here and take it anymore
Now that we are finally reacquainted
I am going to have to say goodbye
Put your life into my hands; This is my chance to make amends
For the secret I've been hiding to save your life
And I'm here for you today
You don't deserve the games these shadows play
Here's your chance to go out the door
I'll take the blame so you don't have to be afraid anymore
I smile for the last time
My crumbling bones point out I'm at the end of the line
I'll go out with a blaze, and fade away
Your dreams are worth more than the rest of time
And I'm here as you today
Everything that I own is now yours, okay
She's waiting at home for you by the door
They'll take me so you don't have to be alone anymore

Your appearance was misleading, like your charming smile.
Maybe I was wrong about my first impression, I will stay a while.
Drawn to your tragedy, or led by mine own.
And the best part of my life is this time we'd known.
All your life blossoms from a single loving time, It's the embodiment of you, it's stifling mine.
You came and found me after Miquel took your place, and I wasn't ashamed that I hoped I'd only see your face.
-------------------------------------
So I held you close to me, so you'd never see
That all your love died long ago, That your heart is buried below.
But I was there when you found out.
When you left me to burn your life to the ground
I saved everything I could find, for a day when you might change your mind.
Your charred eyes never tried to cry, drifting past our sky
I hung on for the both of our tragedy, being the life you'd need
-------------------------------------
You're my passion and my joy. I have to let you know,
As I lose my life for yours, I want you to let Penelope go.

Listen, kid. You're in this deep
You're only safe when you're with me
I know you've seen that I cause pain
But things have changed, let me explain
How she died in my arms that night
She leaned in close, her soul to sleep.
Entrusting me with a lifetime of thought
She said, "let go of Penelope."
See I'm not so blind, I know I've crossed that line.
I know the restless nights will come this time.
Now, just forget us all, so that you can grow old
And I will fade away, knowing you're safe
Why couldn't you leave it alone
I followed you into that home
Action called, but I refrained
As you jumped right into the flame
And I've never been so ashamed
How could I be so blind, I didn't act in time.
Unless I make amends, I'll never see the end
When it's brought to close, I'll be the one who knows
Who I am, and where I stand
