Taking you beneath the surface

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

I thought it was timeless
 didn't know it could say that much
yes, it's certain there are moments
 words mean more than words
 and it seems I just came right

see, I can't go back anymore
 the future is consuming all the past
precious memories,
 are they worthless as of now
 in the gallery the minstrel sings
 of things he only knows

       so I have to choose 
      between the red and black
       can't there be both?

      I guess I'll take 
      what was taken from me
      guess again, no I am not to care
      I only had it when I bled

deadly silence pointing back at you
 silent death to all the figures stacked up high
and paints your name, no taints your fame

 just when it's leaving all for good
  the good ones never leave
 if you know how to make them stay

       can you tell this is 
       more than just a line
       of thousands never seen,
       more than just a dime
       that fell down inbetween
       know you well might know it all
       rest on the surface then submerge
       only when beneath 
       you really learn to breathe
