In this age of lies 

Love has become a sad compromise 

The source of my emotional demise

All the lovers lies,

Let the shadows take me away

From the memories of those who wouldn’t stay,

Somewhere in the past when children played,

Here in a world of illusion where I sometimes pray.

Deep in fantasies of what used to be

Something inside cries out to be free,

There's a message in all this by some hidden decree,

Don't flaunt the present for the tears of a treachery,

The love of the past still haunting the dawn

No need to ponder the memories that live on

The phantoms of passion only dew on the lawn

These self-defeating dreams to which I'm drawn,

Show me a path that makes sense of all this

It seems these echoes have become wilderness 

All for the need of her tenderness

The endless quest leaving me gaunt and speechless,
