A Contrast in Reminiscence Lyrics

Where to start?

Right from the beginnings

Familiar

Explored ground

Wrapping the warmth around you

Sensation sensitive

The feeling of comfort surrounds

Environment built to like a fortress

It evokes the illusion

Subconscious awakening

It removes the obtrusion

Uncomfortability

To feel it again is the zeal

A place in time

Safe space that basks in your memories

Recall the elation

For it will never reach its potential

Time takes away

The youthful exposures

Of feeling complete

Slipping further

The aging composure

That's taking its toll

My own world

Shaped by

Intimate Images

Why is everything fading away?

Why is nothing coming back?

Lost expressions

Tingling your mind

Gone is perfection

Forming the imagery

Blackened formation

Dripping over

Over the catalyst

Hardened liquescence

Barring your own

Path to euphoria

Guidance lost

The strings have been pulled

Burning desire

The immersion is running dry

Can't back up

Before it all turns dark

When I close my eyes I see

Nothing, nothing, that I can remember

My fortitude is fading

Slowly, slowly, as the portraits crumble

It will be forgotten

The past being blurred bit by bit

The fountain of thoughts

Are coagulating

Dream of the times

From long ago

Feeling like you are there

And wishing to return

Dream of the ways

To find your home

Fearing that is lost

And will not be restored

The sorrow is overwhelming

All hope is absent

In this sadness I wallow

As reality rings near

Will I ever remember?

The way it used to be

I am missing the faces

Of those who've all passed on

The reality pains me

I wish it came back

This is not the end

Fear not, there is a way

Forging brand new beginnings

Creation seeks to heal

Give up

Stand down

Let it go

There'll always be the past

Embrace

Cling to

Start anew

There is enough to last

Why do we yearn for?

Why do we search for?

Why do we pine for?

The memory of love

It's okay

It's alright

Remove these walls

Open new doors

Building a foundation

Storing snapshots in time

Remove your fears

Open new ways

Building a well

That holds the future
