Cynthia

Late at night another vision of a girl Drenched in moonbeams, something from another world Scarlet secrets pouring out from mouth to ear Bring me closer to remembering you here Maybe it's just me No place to put the blame Worst of all the truths I can't recall her name Your face is still inside It's never left my eyes You beckon from the grave Buried in my mind And it takes me to a place Another age in time Before we came apart Before we said goodbye And I'm forever changed I can admit that now I wish that I could tell you I wish that I knew how I wish that I knew how And now I've traveled farther than I've gone before All this time has brought me to your door Through all these years you kept some shade of me alive This weathered husk of me somehow survived Survived I remember better days Twinkling lights, blanket of snow We still had so much time We still had rock and roll Now my skin is paper thin I'm having racing thoughts Trying not to let them in Seems trying's not enough I remember simpler times Innocence and Mother Earth I was only just a boy You were only just a girl And Cynthia, my bride When you left I fucking died I'm so outside Now please open your eyes
