When the curtains close,
That is when you'll find me.
When the show is over,
That is when I play.

When you stop to listen,
Hear my music wander,
Find it's place in your heart,
That is where it stays.

Now that I'm a part of
Something more than myself,
Hear a brand new rhythm,
More than what I am.

This acute compression,
A relaxed expansion,
Timed to utter halcyon,
Rends a speechless gaze.
****
And if I left it all,
I could just see it now,
Writing itself a song
Outside the tides of time.
Don't even have to try,
Just open up my eyes
And write the lyrics down
From that other realm.
****
Starting through this journey,
I have found my rhythm.
Shifting farther onwards
From the mainstream haze.

If you choose to listen,
Remember this album
Was originally
Just for me.
****
And if I left it all,
I could just see it now,
Writing itself a song,
Outside the tides of time.
Don't even have to try,
Just open up my eyes
And write the lyrics down
From that other realm.
