Silver Linings

(song that I composed two years back)

Flickering in and out, inside of a dream
One of the fated stars is out of my reach
Call off the Revenant now, he’s walking behind
But things are never as they seem

So it’s wicked wasting time
When I’ve got nothing but affection for you
With happiness stuck in this series of trade-offs,
it’s freedom that’s all that is left to taste
to figure out this conundrum

So what would you say if I just stop for awhile
I was enchanted by my immortal child
When all of my favourite things were falling behind
We were dancing on the rainbow’s edge

A wayward pact in time
When I felt nothing but connected to you
If happiness came with a lock and a golden key
I’d be lost searching for what it’s worth
When everything is upside down

So it’s wicked wasting time
When I got nothing but affection for you
We were caught on the fulcrum of the anger and the doubt
but there was love
interceding

No I don’t believe this life was meant to be hard
Weighed down with all the things that we could discard
I have been sitting still in a garden of stone
My thoughts were bouncing off the rocks

Walking in between silver linings on the freeway
Well I kept my gaze on the spark of a distant light
It’s been a while since I took the map
I’m spinning on a circus wheel
