A golden sea
Thousands of fluttering specks of dust
Encircling me, trapping me in a fantasy

False warmth, shrouded by the sinister blanket of a cold winter

You and I, lost in a sea
A sea of gold

Time freezes as my eyes lock with yours
Your smile forever etched in the reel of flim which is my mind

Your gentle touch, the warmth it gave
Was a sort of fire that remained lit

The sweet lies, you told with a grin
The many times you coated them in faux roses

All roses have thorns
If you weren't careful, you would prick your finger on that spindle wheel' s needle of a thorn

Autumn leaves, when will you leave?
So that winter came come quickly
And give way to a beautiful spring day?

Here I am gazing at the picture of the two of us, wondering why we were trapped in a golden sea

Trapped forever in a motionless frame

Was that why I left?

Was that why the autumn leaves finally left?

Was that why I was able to feel all seasons once more?

It was because I found the real sea
A sea filled with life and hope,
Something the golden sea lacked

I was finally able to feel the gentle waves of the sea
I was able to catch the scent of a peaceful air

The autumn leaves had finally left

I was finally able to escape the golden sea filled with deceit

I was finally able to escape the cage I created for myself...
