about

The title track of Tanagra's second album, and the album opener.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

lyrics

Of all the bleak and brilliant
Beyond the tarnished glass
And all the howling agony
That shall ever come to pass
I can speak not a word
Open doors, a myriad
Futures lie beyond them all
The years have brought me here

The tedium of wax and wane
The cyclic flow of sun and rain
Beget that ebb most terrible
When fantastic grows mundane
Wistful wind has always lured
Even kings to misery
O wanderlust, the gilded promise
That sirens never keep

This transition spirits me away
Left alone, I ponder
I find my heart ensconced in shade
In the middle of the day
As one in my conviction
To wander...

To wait and wait and waste it away
To pass forever into a day

Extinguishing the flame
Just to keep the moths away
This will not come again

I hear the fool I used to be
Asking breathlessly
If I still believe in the dream

I stand defiant
In the shadow of destiny
But there is one thing that I wish to know
Does the dream believe in me?

Push me away
Compel me to stay
Tear me away

This transition spirits me away
Left alone, I ponder
I find my heart ensconced in shade
In the middle of the day
As one in my conviction
To wander
