Your heart's on a string
Your life on a wire
Cracked memories in glass
The light of a fire
Burnt embers of spring
Dust falls from your hair
Remember a smile
An old broken chair
Flicker and fade
Flicker and fade
Your mind's in a trap
Your soul in a sling
Worn pictures of youth
A bird without wings
Album of pain
Diary of fear
A mirror of hate
Your world but a tear
Projecting the past
On a broken down screen
The years you despised
The places you've been
The ghost of your lust
Lies buried in blame
The light in your eyes
A flickering flame
Flicker and fade
Flicker and fade
Colours of hopefulness
Colours unseen
Pictures of beauty
Encased in a dream
A bitter old man
In a half empty room
Your colourful past
On a black and white screen
