When there is time to be with me,
When there is the same line he spins
I see at the coffee shop, the same coffee cups lining the shelves
Those ash trays, worry me
What has come of the simple moments and tranquility?

Society, is turning to things of pain
Society, is falling down the ladder
As aisles of smoke billow from parched lips
It can’t always be the same

I watch the leaves turning yellow, brown, they sometimes wither
I know that it doesn’t have to be this hard

Do we really ever learn anything?
Do we really know more, as they say
The more you learn the less you know
I’m just trying to make you my everything

And, waiting for me at the end of the ocean and seas
Is a crystal laden pathway, a treasure chest
With jewels and gold, just follow the road freely
And open your mind with me

I could get lost in books and pages and words
I could get lost in the reflection of those diamonds in the waves
The beauty overthrows me,
Through it, my soul is always saved

And, I close my eyes to the world again
I close my eyes to the grief and all the pain
Maybe it’s heartless, maybe it’s cold
But, it’s the only way I’ve found
The only way, I’ve learned to remain sane.
