about

The 4th single from the upcoming LP, A Flash in the Eyes.

lyrics

Come and gone within a flash
Born from a distant star's dust
As its glow is bleeding through my veins
Cold and dark threaten from sudden breeze

Self-contained
Happiness remains
Trained in the art of seeing oneself in the mirror
Until awakened thoughts peel it away
Bringing imbalance to the shield around your heart

Washed over and carried away on a wave
Through a stormy and restless sea of daggers
As the roar of the waves stifle my pained screams
Another sees the beauty in the silver from the shore

Slipped through the cracks once again
Forever evading me

Chasing substance every day
Too much is not nearly enough

One more light
One more minute
Take it all in before it will never have been
Disintegrate into the sand
Scattered away by wind, never to be retrieved

Step forward into the storm
Of the fragilities inside
This presence that was once permanent
Has shattered, eternally absent

Please don't leave me in the cold
I don't intend to let go

Here we are my dearest friend
At the place we only dreamed of long ago

There's a mirror on the ceiling
Reflecting myself as I was back then
Content, I lay down for my final rest
As a song of peace fills the night air

The mystery still remains
Never to be solved, but to be experienced

Forever a traveler
Returning to stardust
