Your Name

Darling, you
Take many shapes and forms
And I'm tired of trying to figure out
Who you are
And even though they look the same
They feel worlds apart
Your face it twists and turns
My memories of you are tangled
Your hazy voice is mocking me
Provoking me and asking me to stay
And I'm too much of a fool
To tell you "No"!
Maybe I should just try to run away
But, darling, you know
I'm too stubborn to go and I
Cannot leave until I learn your name
Once again
Whispers are haunting me
Can't seem to go to bed without you
Our fates are tied and all you bring
Is catastrophe for all that I hold dear
And I can't pick up the pieces
To tell you "No"!
Maybe I should just try to run away
But, darling, you know
I'm too stubborn to go and I
Cannot leave until I learn your name
Once again
I cannot leave until I learn your name
But, darling, you know I'm too stubborn
To go and die
So maybe I should just try to run away
Once again
You've left your mark on me
And swayed the course of this timeline
But, you know
That things have changed and I
Have to walk down this road alone
Once again

Long Way

I don't get you;
Is there a part of you missing?
Maybe from your brain or your heart?
Either way, your tone feels blank
Did they steal it?
The thieves from your dreams?
Or, maybe, it wasn't even there to begin with?
Either way, I know you'll get it back
I don't get you;
How you say all those words you don't mean
But you never really tell lies
To anyone but yourself
Did you mean it?
The love you expressed out loud?
Before you burned your bridges and dared not to turn around?
Did you notice?
The flame was never strong
But you cling to the past as if it's all you've ever known
How to do, but I know you're better than that
You have a long way to go
Take your feelings
Put them inside a glass bottle
Let them flow and drift on the sea
And then hope somebody finds them
Maybe then they will understand
That you're a poor stranded soul
Longing for your way into a heart
A welcoming shelter
And once you find it
You'll move on to the next
And pray your spirit doesn't break from all the shame and stress
I don't know you
I can't stress this enough
But the way you act tells me enough to tell how you react
When you fall, but I know you're better than that
And that part,
I know you'll get it back
Though its absence is terrible,
No need to overreact
Cause you have a long way to go
You have a long way to go
You have a long way to go

Light

Intertwined souls, borne of the night
Occupying bodies made of light
In unison; existence made to be
"Can you see our phantasmal colors?"
Run and hunt and flow; a burning flame
All this land seeking to reclaim
Like a breath of life that cradles all that has been
And will be among the shattered pieces of this world
That one by one;
They fall into place
And in due time, before you know,
It will be whole again
Whole again
Your star beckons brighter than the moon
This time I know I am no fool
As I follow you and your hope-paved trail
"Distant streams await us one day"
Skies unfold and infinitely bend
Awe leaves us unable to pretend
"See how easy it is to be honest?"
Gentle words form wreathes around
The pillars that were prophesized to fall
Yet here they stand ready to hold again
Embers that bloom from the ground
Kindle an ancient link that binds our fate
And here they burn to etch our shape on the horizon
And light our way
Light our way
Light our way
Shed light on the pieces
That, one by one, rearranged
They fall into place
Into place
In due time
It will be whole again
Whole again
One by one
They fall into place
Into place
Before you know
It will be whole again
Whole again

Bonfire Realm Thessaloniki, Greece
Bonfire Realm is the method Greek born and raised Theodore Dodoussis devised in order to cope with the feelings one has to
deal with when thrown into the jaws of adolescence but eventually of adulthood as well.
This DIY project which has been written, recorded and produced almost entirely in his bedroom has spawned a bunch of interweaved albums and singles.
