Michael-John Anderson - Nightshade & Violets (feat. Geoffrey Diver & Nastassja Anderson)
Once, there was a dream of mineVoid of mirth and glee
With stars that shone above the pines but cloaked in misery
I woke to find my dream was kind more so than real life
Now trapped and caged my mind unwinds like twine that spins with rife
It's you I hear
A soul that's weary
Woebegone
Let me hear your thoughts and problems
A stranger that seeks to help me and
Hoist me up from my despondence
You bring the joy I need somehow
Breathe in deep and smell the scent in the air, a tinge of nightshade and violet
Succumb to a world that expands your imagination
Open your eyes to a truth in abundance
Out of the silence. For dreams
Can always seem so certain yet obscure
Obscure and contrite with regret
God, forgive my sins and failures
Just listen
The blame's not on you, and choices made brought us side to side
I'll bring the joy you need somehow
So, breathe in deep and smell the scent in the air, a tinge of nightshade and violet
Succumb to a world that expands your imagination
Open your eyes to a truth in abundance
Out of the silence, out of my head
A moment for us to escape
The sun's gone down
The hour is late as the moon begins to rise
Sapphire, amber and ruby and gold
Fades to the black of night
Time to say goodnight
Please, don't leave. I'm lost without you
When I sleep, I dream in anguish
Deeper in the chasm of my mind
I can't wake up
Just one night.
I'll be here tomorrow
Just one more night
I promise you
I'll stay forever
Nightshade and violets are blooming beneath our feet
The essence and longing remains
So, breathe in deep and smell the scent in the air, the scent of nightshade and violet
The future is here, enticing my imagination
Look to the skies
There's light in the darkness
The stars shine the brightest
When dreams are filled with zeal
Good night
