Mir

Off in the distance, lost in the background, unseen
Masked in illusion, shaded in by the colors, I breathe
I scream, [Yeah!] it tears my soul!
Held, held for an instant, never found consistent!

I reach with hands high!
Cherish my thoughts of hope, built yesterday

Portray a picture, painted perfection, not a flaw
Shadowed, my dreams are fading!
Left, empty canvas, gone, what has happened?
Change, changing the colors, adding another!

I reach with hands high!
Cherish my thoughts of hope, built yesterday
Built yesterday! [Yeah!]

I reach with hands high!
Cherish my thoughts of hope!

I scream! [Yeah!] Scream! [Yeah!] Don't give it away! [Yeah!]
Cherish my thoughts of hope, built yesterday
Built yesterday! [Yeaah!]
