Watching backwards as life like pictures
Stinging thoughts, born with phantoms
We danced above a world forgotten

Moments cherished... even now
A train-wrecked heart loves fairy tales
Singing from a gaping wound

However time has left unsettled
My memories play out of tune


You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you break
You can't erase the poet's fate

Not even if you try

And she had Audrey Hepburn's smile

With deeper sadder eyes
The only thing she said
No one hears Cassandra cry

Because the earth is standing still
And the truth becomes a lie
A choice profound is bittersweet

No one hears Cassandra cry

A heartfelt sorrow I believe

Offered this for passion's crime
A crippled satellite trapped in orbit
My memories play out of time


You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you break

You can't erase the poet's fate
Not even if you try...


The listless price of my descension
Where emptiness has pulled me down
Cascading from my divagation

Below the frozen winter skies
Pythonic sadness unreleased
As serpents rigid in the cold

Waiting for the warmth of Sunday
Before the cruelty of growing old


Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening now?

Like Orpheus with hope intangled
Your path was mapped about your feet
Leading backwards into forgiveness

Or forward to a fools retreat
