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
