A lullabye of sorts, I suppose.

Toshio Mana

My staging ground for ideas I'm working on... Likely to be lots of stuff in various stages of completion. It will run the gamut, too - from experimental/abstract electronica to straight-ahed pop, proggish-rock to spoken word.

Story behind the song

Sometimes things weren't meant to be.

Lyrics

Here we are almost face to face
With no way through this silent space.
Gave my love - would have given it up
For one last chance to bring you back
 for a last goodbye...

But time is a jealous friend that no one needs
And grows till it splits the stone like grass and weeds
But now there would be no peace to sleep within your arms

Second hand smoke like second hand love
goes hand in hand with second hand lies
But second hand pain can be just the same
As the tears I tried to wipe from his eyes 
now dance in mine

But pain is the mighty tree that knows no bounds
And chokes off the light from life that it surrounds
And here in the shade of what will never be
I'll plant the memories that will never reach your arms

And I know you're sorry for the promises you can't keep
And I know you're sorry for the dreams you had to leave
And I know there's more to life 
 than what we let ourselves see
But I can't appease the longing and the need
to surrender and be here within your arms

Here we are almost close enough to touch
But hand in hand is so far from enough
And there he stands locked away inside your lost embrace
And I can't be your arms
