Have you noticed, when we talk
the Sun's a brighter shade of yellow?
And I'd swear, the twinkling of the stars...
they're winking just for me
When I close my eyes at night
you must be burned into my sight
because I tell you,
you're the only thing I see
Have you noticed, when I see you
there's a billion, bright new colors?
And I'd swear the song that lifts my heart
was written just for me
As I'm walking through my day
(It's the oddest thing, I'd say)
I no longer feel the pull of gravity
I don't know what I'm to make of all these
sudden, odd new changes,
and I'm not sure what to think of
what is happening to me
But in one thing I am certain
that, to me, you're an oasis
and your friendship is my boat upon the sea

Like a flaming star
the palingenetic, deathless phoenix
ascends amidst roiling tongues of fire
lifted unto the heavens
by
Awakening while asleep, creates you to who you are.
Sleeping awakens life, to die from a wakening death.
From the very beginning,
I come to tell you goodbye,
and that dreams are only dreams,
and that I used to dream about loving you,
but I now I'm awake.
