TO THE DEEDS WE MISSED

To all those rays of hope, to those flops and blunders

Opportunities which just slipped through my fingers

To those boats I never caught and to tormented sleep

To those folks I wanted to be, only idols, not for keeps

Misunderstandings, words unspoken, all the lies

The moments I thought shared that fade before my eyes

Things said so quickly that you don't mean what you say

To those who couldn't see things my way

To the deeds we missed

Those years wasted in trying to act the clown

The walls in front of me that I could not push down

To all those things I missed, which now remain unknown

To all those things I'd much better not have known

The world with its pains, I no longer am afraid

The notes, the melodies, I really wish I'd played

All the words that others put in rhyme that left me stunned

Like so many children who never knew to land of the living

To the deeds we missed

To loves that break apart because they'd loved too much

Faces and their features that were only light brushed

To treasons that I made that left me so untouched

To those living who should not be as such

To our destinies for which we have no control

To an the masks that circumstances made me put on

To our weaknesses, our forgetfulness and our desperations

To fears which must remain in our possession

To the deeds we missed
