Rhythmystica I Stay the Same

My pain is receding, and night begins to fade

Remnants are bleeding into morning’s fragile rays

Without a sound, the blades of the seasons spin

Without a sound, we end before we begin.

Shelves look familiar, books are all in place

And now I remember reading my future in your face

Without a sound, the clouds discolor your eyes

Without a sound, the rivers fall and rise

Ferris wheel circles ‘round

Ground and sky spiral past me

Before and after the dawn

Fleeting moments won’t outlast me

I’ve been who I am all along

You always wore a mask, but I haven’t changed

(Now) you are gone, I remain

(I’m) holding on, I stay the same

My pain is receding, the lantern begins to glow

No more repeating, “no” was always “no”

You’ll never come back to me, your echoes are emptiness

You’ll never come back to me, I’ll find my own happiness

Ferris wheel circles ‘round

Ground and sky spiral past me

Before and after the dawn

Fleeting moments won’t outlast me

I’ve been who I am all along

You always wore a mask, but I haven’t changed

(Now) you are gone, I remain

(I’m) holding on, I stay the same
