The Odyssey

The skin is the canvas and the blood is the ink
The mind is the artist but the heart is too weak

Can we pick up the pieces?
They are left askew across the void
Can we assemble the fragments?
Or are we only authors of chaos?

Somedays you were right, I felt the death creep up inside
Somedays you were right, but it was hard to agree
Somedays you were right and I finally realized
The last goodbye was from me

Hold me close, till we disappear
Like eternity's cold hands
Taking me far away from here

We could never be
Bend the world too your desires
I would take your place
I'm afraid of what I can see

Take me far away

Drowning in a sea of empty promises
Two souls set adrift like lifeless carcasses
Set down a river of historic misfortune

I say goodbye to all we've shared together
As the night shrouds me in mystery

Hold me close, till we disappear
Like eternity's cold hands
Taking me far away from here
I'm sure you'll understand, cause we could never be
Or even more so, we could never see eternity

Turn up the heat, the radiance of your embers
Filter's underneath as star-crossed lovers
Sharing our passion of the galaxy
