Nihil Tactum

Born of forgotten dreams (born of forgotten dreams)
Drawn from divinity
Your eyes reflect God's schemes (your eyes reflect God's schemes)
A subtle blasphemy

Thrown into sharp relief (I still have eyes to see)
Unheard of ecstasy yet
I am in despair of truly reaching you (but now there is no light)
And live again what might've been...

Awake as you sleep, in silence so deep
Deafened by a choir of demons

Quicksilver moonlight plays (Quicksilver moonlight plays)
Soft dance upon your skin
No price I would not pay (no price I would not pay)
To hold you once again

Each and every day (I still have time to grieve)
One ends, the next begins
And, yet, I still remain in shadowed solitude
In love restrained, my heart in chains...

Revisit the day, a promise you'd made
But hope remains strangely elusive
All we've ever been is all we'll ever be
And all the words we say until today
Touch upon nothing

So many times I've tried making some amends (I gave it all that I could give)
So many times I've failed to quite understand you (began so small and got too big)
How much more can I give in to your demands? (I watched it fall, sand through a sieve)
Juggler balancing, afraid to drop the ball

In my own mind, I grasp at the straws of fear (I gave it all that I could give)
Rehearsed the lines that I try to hold so dear now (began so small and got too big)
Remember times I lapsed into sudden tears (I watched it fall, sand through a sieve)
And so we remain touching nothing at all

Regret again, what might have been
In life restrained, decorum reigns
I linger on...
