There's a door here but it will not break

There's a stone there but it won't remain

Up there a heaven now but it will not wait

And the lies there the scent of it just too much

So should you

Sow it once and make it grow the sweet clematis

Let it flower and paint it all of the colors bold

Instantly things fall and fade return to silence

Why oh why why does it all feel so sorrowful

Dreams of what is real

There's a breath here but it will not break

There's a face there but it won't remain

Up there a heaven now but it knows no name

And the stain is the color of red through red

And thus

You cannot cry confuse the lies try to remember

When you rise you take you steps with a strong desire

Time goes by a breath it comes like something given

Why oh why why have these nightmares not long expired

The real is but a dream

From now on

Should it grow and open full the sweet clematis

Flower bold but there's no need for rejoicing more

Precious life this life just once it comes just one time

Keep it close keep it from ever just leaving you

Crying tears confusing fears they are no longer

When I stand I know I'll never be down again

Nothing that I need now once it comes just one time

Somehow somehow someone ah
