( ^^ the youtube link is Beyond by Matthew Mayor. It fills me with this strange sort of melancholic nostalgia; beautifully sad. )






Sitting here all aloneI cannot help but wander far from homeTo what they call the land of rainbowsWhere the rivers in my eyes first learned to flow

Sitting here all alone
I cannot help but wander far from home
To what they call the land of rainbows
Where the rivers in my eyes first learned to flow

Yet a place filled with a strange sweetness it was
A place where I did not feel my flaws
I guess
The land of oblivion it was

But oblivion is bliss, they say
Perhaps that is why I am traversing back there today
In hopes to relive a beautiful dream
To watch the sunlight make the blue waves gleam

I stand there and feel the fresh breeze blow across my face
My demons are gone without a trace
And just like that
A happy smile starts to bloom across my face

I gaze with wonder from afar
At the midnight blue sky sprinkled with thousands of dazzling stars
I feel the freedom surging through my veins
But — alas! — something interrupts this trip down memory lane

Like a flash of lightening reality strikes
And the deceiving mirage dissipates before my eyes
And I realise
I am still sitting here all alone













Like a flash of lightening reality strikesAnd the deceiving mirage dissipates before my eyesAnd I realiseI am still sitting here all alone
