[ The falling of the night
To dawning of the light
I went for a ride out in the Elfin Forest
Thinking I could write
With misty eyes of white
And it'd all be fine by the time I reached the chorus ]

[ In the evergreens
I hung my youthfulness
I was waiting for one last caress ]

[ San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home ]

[ The rising of the tide
When my hands were tied
Made sure I'd be fine even when I thought I'd lost it
Swami's Cafe
Down to Mission Bay
Oh, the county line tried to get me not to cross it ] 

[ But even when I moved to Orange
I could never forget what came before it ]

[ San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home ]

[ San Marcos
San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You're always in my soul
Oh ]

i lost you this past year, it was hard to believe
that you were really gone, that you left me

i know, youre looking down on me
(youre looking down on me)
but i dont believe in the big man but i believe youre here with me
(i dont believe in him but i believe in you)

i wanna say, i love you one last time
(can i say it?)
youre not in a material world, so i'll say it in my mind
(can you hear it?)

i lost him not long after i lost you, but youre happy again
(youre up there, i can see the smile on your face)
its getting hard without you two, all the things i wish i said
(i wish i said i love you just one last time)

i know, youre looking down on me
(youre looking down on me)
but i dont believe in the big man but i believe youre here with me
(i dont believe in him but i believe in you)

we were planting strawberry trees in the backyard, back when i was young
oh i wish i could go back there, but now its all gone
its lost like you, but i dont wanna lose these memories
you were frail, and sick, and maybe i knew it was your cue to leave

Obsidian Veil - (1996) The Last Invitation - If I Was

Matthew Heller’s latest record, Criticism, Judgement, Heartbreak, and Peril, marks a significant moment in his evolution as an artist—a point where his self-reflection meets his bold commitment to examining the complexities of the human experience. These songs dig into themes of growth, discomfort, and a deep yearning for connection. It’s a raw and honest exploration of what it means to wrestle with one’s place in the world, and how to navigate a life filled with contradictions. Heller isn’t afraid to face the uncomfortable truths head-on, whether it’s his own struggles or the broader issues he contemplates. Each song on the record invites the listener to join him on this journey, to reflect alongside him, and to find resonance in shared human experience.

Dreaming of the Past

[Chorus]
Oh I'm dreaming of the past
Oh I'm dreaming of the past
If I don’t wake, I’ll linger
Ooh darling, this love won't last

[Verse 1]
In the shadows, we would roam
In the silence, you were home
If I don't find you, my heart aches
Ooh darling, is this love a mistake?
Your laughter echoes in the night
Your memory, a fading light
But here I stand, lost in time
And these words just won't rhyme

[Chorus]
Oh I'm dreaming of the past
Oh I'm dreaming of the past
If I don’t wake, I’ll linger
Ooh darling, this love won't last

[Verse 2]
Through the seasons, we would dance
Through the pages, lost romance
I see your face in every song
Ooh darling, where did we go wrong?
Your whispers haunt my lonely nights
Each tear, a symbol of our fights
But in the dark, I feel your grace
And still I yearn for your embrace

[Bridge]
In the twilight, I still find
All the moments intertwined
Though you’re gone, I’ll carry such
A bittersweet love, it means so much

[Chorus]
Oh I'm dreaming of the past
Oh I'm dreaming of the past
If I don’t wake, I’ll linger
Ooh darling, this love won't last

[Verse 3]
In the shadows where we lived,
Memories like smoke, they drift,
Each corner holds a whispered sigh,
Ooh darling, why did we say goodbye?

[Chorus]
Oh I'm dreaming of the past,
Oh I'm dreaming of the past,
If this heartache has no cure,
Ooh darling, can love be pure?

[Verse 4]
In the silence where we found,
Echoes linger all around.
Through the laughter, through the tears,
Ooh darling, we faced all our fears

[Chorus]
Oh I’m dreaming of the past,
Oh I’m dreaming of the past,
If the stars could realign,
Ooh darling, would you still be mine?
