Cole Son - A Few Lifetimes Ago Lyrics

There's a dark corner in the middle of the sky
Where I go to hide
As I run from my shadow the wings of all time
Won't let me fly

I reach for something to rescue me
Inside this cluster of a billion stars
Who broke the rainbow? There's no emergency repair

I'm a pebble in a rain-filled cloud
Above that lonesome bay
Filled with so many tears of lovers long lost
They all cried in vain

How could I have become so removed from myself
In a universe where I don't even know my name
Behind this mask, there lies no hidden face

Oh just a few lifetimes ago
I lost my angel, you know
Her sweet memories still feeding off my brain
Oh, just a few lifetimes ago
I was a man and a mighty king
But now I'm only the embers of her fire

A shell without a heart
Dancing to a drum without a beat

If I could catch that shooting star before the glow is gone
Will I find my way to heavens golden door
And come to face the breath of my soul

Or am I trapped inside this silly little dream
A mannequin dressed for his final masquerade
Deep Inside this prison. The prison of my mind

It's so quiet in this voids
Shall I scream or be a mouse
Letting all the others sleep

My head is a temple for many circus clowns
Singing "whose here to play and who had lost their mind
The sun drinks the sea but the water is all gone

Just solve the puzzle and you will soon be free

My dreams lie painted on a canvass in the clouds
So many lifetimes in a perfect written rhyme
A man who dared to wonder but never cared to die
Always seeking the answers to this life
But in the end, the circle always will repeat
For this fool who believed in a happy fairytale

I hear tears dripping like honey from a weeping hive
The sweetest nectar for bitter little lies

Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh the secrets of my life

My mind screams run, run, run
I hear the drum, drum, drum
That hourglass is running out of sand

Let me have the key to that mighty door
And unlock the treasures of true love
Can I be again just an ordinary man
Without any judgements or a dare

Oh just a few lifetimes ago
I had an angel you know
Her love so deep like rivers full of rain
Just a few lifetimes ago
I was a man and a mighty king
Now written only on pages lost in time

Can I dream a new reality
Where my heart still has a beat

There's a dark corner in the middle of the sky
Where I go to hide

Just let me cry through this night
Just let me cry
