about

A very old song that was originally supposed to be a part of "Burst Into Cold Radiance", a down-tempo / ambiance project with myself and a friend.

lyrics

Dreams untouched by empty hands
Endless silence flows throughout the hallways
It creeps down the passages where no one
Dares to enter or even talk about
Eerily, we look at each other and those words of compassion
That were never spoken fall out in syllables
We think we understand, but we don't
Embrace
Try to forget about what was said
Destroy feelings and emotions that will help me to rebuild
Barriers block out understandings of understatements
And words laced with feelings that we can never explain
In the first place
But here we are
We use the elevators and stairwells and telephones
And cell phones but are we really communicating?
Are we really moving?
Is the slow crawl of insanity and depression dragging
Us along with the tidal wave we call morning?
or is it... mourning?
Whats the difference?
We wake up and they're both there
The sun blinds our eyes and we smash our alarms
And sluggishly devout ourselves to a higher cause
To the paper or plastic, love or hate atmosphere
And back in the oaken hallways the
reverberations of the lonely sound of love is
echoing off the doors and old picture frames and
Finally plants itself in a corner
That no one will ever pay attention to
When will it blossom? When will it bloom?
Who will find it when it is most ripe?
