in desolate shades of grey
in silent nights at your side
i drift… into private darknesses
that hold me… and speak to me
of things from distant pasts
where once upon a time
you were a stranger to me
and i looked into tomorrow
as i sat alone inside one silent night
inside one desolate shade of grey
in the womb of a dark winter storm
that rattled the darkness inside
and jerked it into light
did you look too?
did you see what i saw?
you were always what was lost
in a swirling mist of grey
close your eyes, i said
and tell me if you see me
do you see me here?
did you see me there?
did you feel me there?
i was trapped inside your heart
hoping you could give me
a body… a soul… to grasp
and you came and stood before me
drenched in midnight blue
disturbing the order of stars and sky
you came and stood
at the base of spiral stairs
at the base of spiral stairs
that i descended
and you ascended
and we transcended
the darkness of absence
was that us?
was that you
reaching for me
as i reached for you?
are we here, now?
can you hear
my whispers
inside your heart?
my whispers
inside your heart?
