Somewhere in the recesses
of my heart and soul
you hold an art still
in a story untold

Unspoken
Long kept
deep in this
well

The place
I return to
My respite
from hell

You paint the city
I hold back the sky
our worlds collided
in the by and bye

The melody drifts
just off key
but still far enough
to take you from me

Here remains the void
my heart always knew
the empty illusion
of a world with you
