Hologram

(Album: EQUIVALENCE - 2021)

Paint for me a perfect scene as pure as white can be
Showing me a world like nothing I have ever seen
Whoa

When I was a child, I never stood still
Always finding adventure on those hills
My map was always changing with each passing day
I'd too many dreams to count

Help me out, I'd shout to the sky
As I wondered if someday I could fly
Even though back then, my steps, they were small
I dreamed of a leap

Thought I was strong, but I was wrong
Learned that I was weak with one storm
Making me feel small as the raindrops start to fall
Ricocheting off into my heart

I can see a million rays of light as they collide
Lighting up the world in every direction
But then they vanish, right before my eyes

And all that's left's the afterimage burned inside my mind
Showing me a world like nothing I have ever seen

Why did we try to cover all those bright memories?
Like they were things we didn't want to see
But the home we cherished lived inside our dreams
And that beauty I can't speak for

But it was more beautiful
Than a sky full diamonds, so magical
And even now I haven't found a single thing anywhere
That could compare

This scenery we've been painting
It portrays the pain in our lives
But I think it's time that together, you and I
Paint a future, colorful and bright

Even if I lose my way and stumble on this road
All my cuts and bruises won't last forever
I'm getting stronger, that for sure, I know

Paint for me a perfect scene as pure as white can be
Showing me a world like nothing I have ever seen

I can only tremble where I stand
Looking at a perfect hologram

I can see a misty sky
In a rainbow-color light, whoa
Even far away, I hear it calling me, yeah!
Whoa!

Finally, the rain begins to clear one afternoon
And it's like the light is reflecting from heaven
Sneaking a glimpse out, just for me and you

And it's like a watercolor dream with every hue
Showing me the beauty that I was too blind to see
All because this world's like nothing I have ever seen
