These are the lyrics to a song I wrote for my best friend after he passed away, Enjoy!
In this world I have felt so long
My eyes have guided me this far
Is this a true transformation
Or have my thoughts deceived me?
Is this a dream with my eyes open wide
Or have I found a new dimension?
Crossing the path of a gate of light
Will this be the end of the road I walk upon?

I was struck by surprise when a sparrow spoke deeper than words
Such a beautiful painting more detailed than said in turn
Am I caught in between a dream of lands never seen before?
Am I still awake lying restlessly in bed?
Are my eyes open staring deep into the purple clouds
Or are they closed following the path of the Milkyway?

An endless drift I hope I never wake
But if I do how will I return?
This land I walk on I have never been before
Trying to believe it is not too late to be reborn

Where am I going if my body still lies in bed?
Am I physically raptured or is this all in my head?
Can I touch the surface of what I do not know?
Will it come alive for me and tell me where to go?
Well, I'm so tired of waiting for endless sleep
I am making an attempt to compromise what I cannot speak
My feelings have gone far away ever since the moment I found that day
My face is left emotionless as you lie on the floor
Translucent and weak is how I feel, and the pain inside is far too real
Will this last another day or will I simply fade away?

I was struck by surprise when a sparrow spoke deeper than words
Such a beautiful painting more detailed than said in turn
Am I caught in between a dream of lands never seen before?
Am I still awake lying restlessly in bed?
Are my eyes open staring deep into the purple clouds
Or are they closed following the path of the Milkyway?

My soul is adrift in the moment that seems to last for eternity...
