I\'ve felt the wave when you were born
That rhapsody within my veins
A heavy crown of thorns I\'ve worn
A melting mask & rusted chains
I\'ve heard the red skies weep for me
A trance within a milligram
I\'ve burned in sullen ecstasy
To paint the dawn with what I am
The picture of a past life I\'ve laid
Deep within the sand
& a cryptic writing
Only for the lost ones to understand
I\'ve buried a heart of glass
That was ready to await
So that new worlds would grow
From the one that you create
But beyond the life we\'ve known
Beyond the lines drawn to erase
Memory lost, a flower grown
Our love might have left the trace
That\'s how I felt that you were born
That rhapsody deep in my veins
A dream confined, but not forlorn
Like echoes of a thousand rains
