lyrics

Scattered throughout the world, these seeds of lost memories
their faces tell stories, their faces tell stories of lives left untouched
they promise me a world that I could have known,
but mine is a place that only I can own

Gaze through your window where you can not see,
your pictures perpetually reminding me
that mine is a choice that may never be
an instant reward that you all may seek

Withering away, I'm feeling low today,
but soon I will bloom, but soon I will bloom
It's difficult to say just where I will take me
these distant faces they can never know
those far out spaces I wish I could reside there
with endless traces of happiness too good for me
too good for me, too good for me, too good for me

Gaze through your window where you can not see,
your pictures perpetually reminding me
that mine is a choice that may never be
an instant reward that you all may seek
Gaze through your window where you can not see,
your pictures perpetually reminding me
that mine is a choice that may never be
an instant reward that you all may seek
