Music Therapy

Through All These Years

Lyrics:

By the pale light of the star
400 light years away
I can see you dream tonight
As clear as it was day

And I know that they will see
Through the dark matter of their night
Long after it’s burnt away
Your illuminating light

Light, your illuminating light
In the night, reflecting in the night

Polaris you show the way
A lighthouse in the storm
There’s no way we can break
The gravitational pull

Sometimes the clouds fill the sky
Into hiding you must go
Till the solar winds bring you back
And the heavens are aglow

Aglow, the heavens are aglow
Down below, reflected down below

Let us ride towards the stars
You can guide us on the way
And I will follow my true north
Until the break of day

Far away, far away
Far, far, far away
Far away, far away
Far, far away

Far, far away
Far, far away

My illusion, my mistake

Again I dwelled on dreams
And nothing ever turns out as it seemed at first -
like in a curse.
My heart was hungry and so I took the bait.
My illusion, my mistake.

Again I sat and grieved.
Your words had made a dreamer out of me,
I thought so foolishly.
I didn‘t think my heart was gonna break.
My illusion, my mistake.

It hurts when you know 
you have to let it go.
But you want the impossible to happen
Say it isn‘t so.
I don‘t want to let it go.
Don‘t tell me it‘s impossible...

All these words,
how they bleed 
onto the paper infront of me.
But they don’t express what I would like to say.
Unable to sleep, at night I lie awake.
My illusionn, my mistake. 

It sucks when you know
you need to let it go.
But you hope the impossible will happen
Say it isn‘t so.
I don‘t want to let it go.
Don‘t tell me it‘s impossible...

To some
chasing a dream 
might feel contemptible,
It may appear absurd
The most exciting tunes I know are 
melodies that I‘ve never heard.
Let‘s think we‘re growing wings
as we‘re falling from the sky like birds.
Unperturbed.
Superb. 

It still hurts,
It still bleeds,
And It doesn‘t seem to heal.
All my fantasies have turned into aches. 
No, no, no, no, no
I thought that our souls were bound by fate.
My illusiom, my mistake.
