Prologue
During the dark of the night,
when nightmares roam free
Do you still care? Will you be there?
For my frights and my troubles
In your mind, do I still love you
In my heart and in my spirit
a piece of our love has a place to live in
through my anguish and my pain
with my smiles and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
I'll never let you part
For you're always in my heart
Mortality
In the night I lay awake
Thinking of my own mortality
How fickle I am in the grand scheme of things
A small cog in the machine
Capable of destroying the balance of everything with my absence
But still just a small cog nonetheless
A mortal man with an inevitable god complex
Dreaming big and living small
Living lies and preaching truths
In my heart of hearts
Mortality is just the enemy of youth
For Past, Present, and Promises
Ignorance is kind only to ignorant eyes
In the past, real eyes realized real lies
Incredibly arrogant of us
To assume we knew what was real then
Nowadays we question our own beings
Has Stockholm impeded our growth
Or have we conformed to the ignorance we love
Ever so often these hurdles eat at me
Epilogue
The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers, staying dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore
