Panacea And The Prelogue

(album: Modern Synthesis - 2016)

Wait inside
By the fire and we'll talk a while
I didn't mean to let the years go by
Waiting for love

Have we come to terms
With the lesson that our fathers learned?
Impermanent, it flows away
Everything goes away

I'd follow you, but not this time

So I walk in streets unknown
Our bodies and their silver just a loan
I'm sorry that I let you down, let you down, a lifetime ago
I wanna say to all I leave behind
And to those I'll never find
That I need you to understand, understand, you're not on your own

Hold in mind
What you value, is it worth the time?
The only melodies that I could ever call mine
Were friendship and lust

Will I feel absolved
At the moment when we have it solved?
A panacea for the absent soul
Still it's never enough

I'd follow you, but not this time

So I walk in streets unknown
Our bodies and their silver just a loan
I'm sorry that I let you down, let you down, a lifetime ago
I wanna say to all I leave behind
And to those I'll never find
That I need you to understand, understand, you're not on your own

For the art
I will sing most anything
We are worlds apart
I can do it all

Lines fade out, but you illuminate
The path back home, the path you've shown me
As lines fade out, you will illuminate
And lead a way back home

Lines fade out

For the art
I will sing most anything
We are worlds apart
I can do it all
