A Poem For Byzantium:

Lyrics by Joanna Stevens of Solar Twins

Unbidden shadows of you formed yesterday
I ran away to a room here on the bay
Interrupted life again, another new beginning
Where the silence echoes you're no longer with me

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though I may be alone, but that's ok

Through the darkness I would walk in the streets
Confession's never seemed to provide me with a release
Held me down and tried to cure me tried to give me reason
But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though I may be alone, but that's ok
And looking out onto a different sky will disengage me
Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade

I do not seek and do not intend to find
A calmer ocean or a sun that never will rise
My world will never change and time'll bring you to my thoughts,
and I'll move on and then forget you all over again
Moving on, I can forgive you all over again

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though I may be alone, but that's ok
And looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy
Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade
