Ghosts of Yesterday

Silence drifts towards a pristine remorse
The river that we sail 
twists upon its course
Memories held inside this mind so delicately flawed
The elegance of a death of those we so adored

Crystalised remembrance of dreams once lost in tears
Brutality of honesty contains a multitude of fears
Seek and you shall find the ghosts of yesterday
They dance upon the heart in a macabre cabaret

The past is never written in words we can't erase
Everything forgettable for the soul who never prays
Destiny comes folded inside the book of all our lives
Tears fall forever in this existence of goodbyes
