Fade, Pt. 4 - Perspectives (feat. Maja Shining)

'Twas a splendid childhood Charmingly allure Satiated by wonders And magic to explore I dreamt that neverending Was the winding forest road That someday a shiny rainbow Will reveal a pot of gold Castles, fairies, airships Sorcerers, machines It all appeared tangible Hauntingly within reach A scent of coffee, morning press Crayons playfully invoke Grandpa let us play some chess Beloved furry toy, a book And my heart, it feels so heavy As I witness withering away Gardens and rainbows turning grey Abundantly my life was painted But now the colours seem expelled The forest path led to a cell 'Twas a splendid childhood Charmingly allure Satiated by wonders And magic to explore Wasn't neverending The meandering forest road One day the shiny rainbow Was no more to behold All castles, fairies, airships Sorcerers, machines Grown elusively transparent Dispersed, without a glimpse The scent of coffee, morning press Dissipated like perfume Grandpa, without goodbye you left Remained merely the gloom And my heart, it feels so heavy As I witness withering away Gardens and rainbows turning grey Abundantly my life was painted But now the colours seem expelled The forest path led to a cell And my heart, it feels so heavy As I witness withering away Gardens and rainbows, turning grey The sky has lost its gleamy shimmer And its mesmerising breadth The boats have sailed to Neverland The crayons dried, lying useless Blue Marble, furry toys - all gone It seems that good had never won 'Tis now a memory I cherish To warm me - shivering of frost The colours faded, hope is lost
