A Phantom Waltz (v1)

Lyrics

DUST MOATS HANG, A FROZEN SCREEN, THE ANTI-CLOCK, A MUTED GLEAM, A VELVET DRAPE, FOREVER CALLED HEART.
HALFWAY BETWEEN A THOUGHT AND A BREATH THAT NEVER LANDS, IN THESE STILL LANDS.
MY FINGERS BRUSH THE SILENT KEYS, A WHISPER STIRS THE HEAVY AIR.
THEN A SILENT SONG TAKES FLIGHT, AND THE MELODY UNWINDS.
A PHANTOM WALTZ FOR QUIET TIMES, EACH NOTE A SLOW, ELABORATE BREEZE.
A HEARING WORLD FINDS ITS OWN PACE, FORGOTTEN GLAMOUR SOFTLY PLAYED IN A MOMENT'S HASTE.
THE CHANDELIER, A DIAMOND TEAR, SUSPENDED NOW YEAR AFTER YEAR, A SINGLE ROSE ITS PETALS STIFF YEAR.
A SINGLE ROSE ITS PETALS STIFF, MY BOW JUST PULLS A SILENT RIFT THROUGH SHADOWS LONG AND NEVER DEEP.
SECRETS THE SILENT CELLULOID KEEPS, THEY SAY TIME HEALS, OR TIME BIRD GONE.
IT SLEEPS WITHIN THE STATIC AIR, UNTIL MY MUSIC CALLS IT THERE.
A SILVER SCREAM BEGINS, AND THE MELODY UNWINDS.
A PHANTOM WALTZ FOR QUIET TIMES, EACH NOTE A SLOW, ELABORATE BREEZE.
A HEARING WORLD FINDS ITS OWN PACE, FORGOTTEN GLAMOUR SOFTLY PLAYED IN A MOMENT'S HASTE.
A SINGLE ROSE ITS PETALS STIFF, MY BOW JUST PULLS A SILENT RIFT THROUGH SHADOWS LONG AND NEVER DEEP.
