Paradox

I mouth your name a thousand times
But never could prepare
To know exactly what you are
The blissful unaware

And every chosen memory
Carves into my skin
It slips with every fading smile
Sinking further in

And as I reach into the night
Grasping for your connection in some way
To find myself again
There is more of this to come

There is nothing that I cannot be
Without a way to separate the dream from reality

And as the red punches through the night
Feasting on ambition
Open to a multitude of light
Pulling me down to the deepest core

And as I reach into the night
I'm grasping for you
Aching for that imagined perpetuity
Feeding me
Feeding love, feeding rage

I'm beginning to see me through
My conscience, my existance, my all

Flickers of feathers and swords in the new thrive
I've been waiting for signals from you all along to dive

There is nothing that I cannot be
Without a way to separate the dream from reality

There is nothing that I cannot be
Without a way to separate the dream from reality
