Lionheart

(album: Nu Soul - 2017)

I see it here and now
A scattered dream that's like a far off memory
I want to line the pieces up
There's so many missing from our lonely hearts

When the morning comes
We'll celebrate their dawning with the rising of the sun
Every now and then I promise and pretend
That the future's in my hands
But I know it's the past worth standing in

Dancing out of fables into cities made meridian blue
Like we're in a fairy tale, birth by sleep anew
So tell me was there ever a page that laid our words to waste?
So tell me can we sever the astral space and wander our own way?

Don't look up now
And keep your sleeves wound tight around your wrists
Don't turn around
You'll never know what this key fits
A kingdom and a crown
Steeped in gold to inflate the ego
In streets my heart won't know, my feet still follow

And now the morning has shown
It melts away the mountain-tops in its glorious glow

I see it here and now
A scattered dream that's like a far off memory
I want to line the pieces up
From our hearts

Dancing out of fables into cities made meridian blue
Like we're in a fairy tale, birth by sleep anew
So tell me was there ever a page that laid our words to waste?
So tell me can we sever the astral space and wander our own way?

We pray that our sorrows will end
We hope that our hearts will blend
Only time can tell if our bodies will mend

I'll fall into the starless night
Between stained glass lines
Letting go of every lion heart
That I've torn out tonight
So separate and digitate
I'll find my own way through the towers of ivory

Dancing out of fables into cities made meridian blue
Like we're in a fairy tale, birth by sleep anew
So tell me was there ever a page that laid our words to waste?
So tell me can we sever the astral space and wander our own way?
