Smothered Radiance xx
xx Back
there is a great radiance warming through me
its so bright, its the star of my dream
pulsating through my chest and caressing my heart
the most joyous song will surely from my lips depart

for once rational thought is not first in line
i want to run, to be free for the rest of time
a lifetime of chains have been finally broken
and a heart-full of great emotions are being spoken

though i fear it wont remain till tomorrow
through your reflecting self, i've only got now
to spread these wings of color and prove my worth
cause i know you, burning everything with your foolish torch

yet you don't have the slightest clue; slightest truth
for there is a utopia of serenity thats anything but you
it has found me, don't you see it; tell me you see it
i don't need you pitiful hero, you fell in the dirt

feel it, its bright; so bright, its warming my blood
and over the horizon, there you are; beginning your unjust flood
of tears; of anger; of sorrow--with you there is no freedom
none in which one should live it, for with you i fear that i am done

radiant this freedom light is to my darkened heart
yet you shut it off before my song, from my lips,- departs
