lyrics

One Day Closer to Yesterday

I. Where Mystics Unite

Into the deepest dream
Whispers hide behind a scream
It’s where I long to be with you

Below the starry skies
Where the attachment lies
My body pulls my desperate soul
So far from home

Remember fragrant nights,
And whispered lullabies?
The words maligned our subtleties

And when we all depart
Have we played our part?
As we evolve to destiny
Were we free?
Now I see you in another world

II. Aina Khana (The palace of mirrors)

Protect the garden with love
Reflection fights vindication
Repetition engraving the stone
I am all I see
Commanded in life
The servant is I
The master is my ability

Into the fire we fall
And with the smoke we’ll rise up
As the ashes below scatter with the dust
Breathing the light
Seeking the light
Healing the blind eyes so we can see

As I walk alone seeking my soul in everyone
I seem to find a part of our love
Pieces that we never found
In a sense I’ve always loved you
The palace has been redefined

III. When We Surrender

The sun is familiar, and yet a stranger to me in a way
I’ve seen this smile before
And remember the beauty that danced between us
But now I’m lost in the spaces that separate us

Crying out to the night when we’re broken
We’re chosen
Into darkness my heart ignites
And I’m open

Intuition will guide the night’s divine
Perfect knowledge into the hearts and minds
Of those seeking to find something closer
Devotion

Time is wounded deep in the night
Hearts are broken, I’m losing the fight
For life

In my heart, the chambers are cold
I’m hoping to find some peace here
Pictures burn all through the night
I’m hoping she’s out of reach… yeah

In the dark, she calls out to me
Nothing is out of reach here
A hidden world covered in dreams
What could she want from me again?

And when the morning comes
The future’s bright, but we don’t recall
With the truth I’ll take the fall
Nothing’s left for me but death

IV. An Uninterpreted Dream

Questions aside, when love has arrived
There’s nothing left but my surrender
You’ve fallen between us
The silence always lingers
And when you leave us
The first kiss will be goodbye

Supplication
Tears into the lining of my soul
Constellations
Refining what is real and what has gone
Consolation
Fabricating all we’ve said and done
Complications

V. Our Last Days

Freedom, social justice, peace, and love
The rhythm’s off, the melody is overly convoluted
Everything we’ll ever need returns to us again
I see the balance lost in most of us
And I remember both of us
Before we chose to come to Earth
To drift apart as you forgot and fell away

But I’m one day closer to yesterday
Returned to the heart of everything
Never again will I repeat
To feel, and think, and speak without integrity
A broken heart is where we’ll meet
But I’m still running to be free
From all the warning signs
One day closer to me
Closer to you

Closer
