(Somewhat of a sequel to "Of Sunsets and Shadows", might make more sense)
Still cast in shadow
I don't know which dream
To follow anymore
I keep getting lost in words
That aren't my own
Showing me a universal solution
To both our problems
Feeling the pain
Of not being able to decide
If the way I read the words
Are the way they were written
I'm still watching that denied sunrise
That could illuminate us both
If we weren't so busy
Seeking out the shade
Seeking out the shade
And thinking somehow that doing so
Will make the sun shine brighter
On the other
But it dims
Because the dream
Was to stand together
The sunlight was foolishly rejected
But with the dawning of the sun
Comes the rising of the moon
Let us in moonlight do
As we in sunlight
Could not
