~ Diaphanous Heart ~
Diaphanous heart, sheltered deep
protected only when I sleep
walk no more tightrope in the grey
just one more dream, then break away
I have some scars from where I've been
I know I'll walk that path again
a heart's yearning, love will betray
just one more dream, then break away
trapped by my past, sometimes I wish
to emerge from this chrysalis
and fly away from yesterday
just one more dream, then break away
diaphanous heart, sheltered deep
just one more dream, then break away
