In this dream state
I am weightless
Ancient keepsake
Of the ageless
Feel a sweet ache
It is painless
As these tears fade
I am stainless
.
Need not keep pace
With the faithless
Bleed my deep veins
Less than gracious
Make discreet way
To oasis
Should I keep faith
Turn the pages
(Turn the pages)
.
Here indeed may
Escape the matrix
Leave the freeway
Break the chain links
Seek unique ways
To exchange gifts
Thus exceed gains
When the veil lifts
.
Every faint glimpse
Of innate bliss
Is a quaint kiss
To my pale lips
Weeps a keepsake
Of the ages
As these tears fade
I am stainless
.
In this dream state
I am lifted
Feel the sweet rain
Of ellipsis
See the sun play
Blow it kisses
Save the moon face
And eclipse it
.
Need not run raids
On the one place
Where on glum days
I am lifted
Having won praise
Of the sun rays
In the moon phase
I then shifted
.
Here indeed may
(Here indeed may)
Weep a keepsake
(Weep a keepsake)
Feel the sweet ache
(Feel the sweet ache)
Of the ages
(Of the ages)
Seek unique way
(Seek unique way)
To make dreams play
(To make dreams play)
Should I keep faith
(Should I keep faith)

In this dream state
(Turn the pages)
I am weightless
(Turn the pages)
In the deep space
(Turn the pages)
Ever spacious
(Turn the pages)
With the keen grace
(Turn the pages)
Of a Geisha
(Turn the pages)
As these tears fade
(Turn the pages)
I am stainless
(I am stainless)

Had to be courageous
In the face of flaming pyre
(Stainless)
Had to grieve in stages
To explain the trailing wire
(Stainless)
Gather all the traces
Of remaining vague desire
(Stainless)
Put myself through paces
In the name of raising fire
(Stainless)
.
Had to blaze flirtatious
To escape from grave disaster
(Stainless)
Be put through my paces
With the aim of running faster
(Stainless)
Reacquaint my yesterdays
With better days hereafter
(Stainless)
Demonstrate the state of grace
Acclaimed of great forefathers
(Stainless)
.
Had to play the river
To enable faith to blind me
(Stainless)
Had to stay and glimmer
For the waifs and strays behind me
(Stainless)
Had to break the stigma
Or else take the fate advised me
(Stainless)
Had to play enigma
To escape the maze designed me
(Stainless)
.
Had to squeeze the trigger slow
(Stainless)
To blow my brains inside me
(Stainless)
Had to seek a place to go
(Stainless)
Disgrace would never find me
(Stainless)
Had above foreseen below
(Stainless)
Then I’d have smiled politely
(Stainless)
Even so
I would have shown
The love known to ignite me
