Harpsichord Concerto No. 1 in C# Minor, Prelude

New beginnings, feel star-crossed, its all aligned
And when it ends, a double cross, a savage crime
Isn't hope but futures promised that you cast aside
That paling image of us in those dull green eyes
A tragic circle, repeats itself, when pain subsides
The purpose hidden, but I thought that I climbed
to the top of these walls that nearly touched the sky
But when I approached you were there to meet me with a smile

Could this be, a fluke?
But I waited for you
Are you mine? I do
So I lept into
The abyss, I thought
You'd catch me, before
I was lost for sure
But you let me fall

I gave, all I could give to you
A verse played, a chorus remains in you, in you, in you
In silent places, I wait alone
A bed of roses no one will ever know

First comes the pain, the only thing internalized
Can't tell what's true, and what is real, and who am I?
I'm shaped by failure, the only facts in my life
My frame of reference was you, now where am I supposed to hide?
There's someone there, a boy I never met inside
Benighted one, a lonely soul, child left behind
I read your thoughts, for once I felt, that they matched mine
And now we know, I'm all alone 'til the end of time

Could this be, a fluke?
But I waited for you
Are you mine? I do
So I lept into
The abyss, I thought
You'd catch me, before
I was lost for sure
But you let me fall

I gave, all I could give to you
A verse played, a chorus remains in you, in you, in you
In silent places, I wait alone
A bed of roses no one will ever know
