Praise for the Bereft

I sing a melody for the deaf, a hymn of praise for the bereft
Committed a felony on my head, a eulogy for the dead
They say I'm out of touch, out of all I loved too much
Made this a tragedy for myself, a mystery for the rest
I feel a heaviness in the air, a suffocated prayer
Silently humming in his chair, the mute king and his heir
They told me to get some sleep, but I'm afraid I'll fall too deep
Eyes can't see
Ears can't hear
Lies can't breach
Fears can't tear
Eyes can't see
Been seeing things that eyes can't see
Ears can't hear
Heard rumours of wars approaching
Lies can't breach
Been hearing bout the lies they breed
Fears can't tear
These are the beginning of birth pains

Like the fading ghost of cities where we used to live
Look at each other always with extinct eyes
We weren’t the only ones listening
The sound of gold
They built the walls to look so strong just from within
But in the end we found out they were paper thin
We weren’t the only ones to believe
The lie of lies
There's no one on the wheel just a blinking light
The strength was not to reconcile
The strength was not in numbers
He raises a finger on his lips to mark the silence
Dead can’t talk
We saw it light up the whole sky
Somehow it made us shame our pride
Could not believe that after fall we must endure
The truth that light shed on our lives

Farewell, Mirage

Even if you're there I can't see you
Even if you talk I can't hear you
Even if you touch I can't feel you
Even if you want I can't talk to
Even if I want I can't talk to you
Thought I saw but it was just a ghost
Something old it's all gone before long
Yesterday everything was right
Maybe someday we could be just fine
