[Lyric Post] Back to a Reason (Part 2) - Trans Siberian Orchestra

[manof_myword]

Time
Standing all alone
I bled for you
I wanted to
Each drop my own

Slowly they depart
But fall in vain
Like desert rain
And still they fall on and on and on

Got to get back to a reason
Got to get back to a reason I once knew
And this late in the seasons
One by one distractions fade from view

So
Drifting through the dark
The sympathy
Of night's mercy
Inside my heart
Is your life the same?
Do ghosts cry tears?
Do they feel years?
As time just goes on and on and on

Got to get back to a reason
Got to get back to a reason I once knew
And this late in the seasons
One by one distractions fade from view

I'm looking for you
I'm looking for i don't know what
I can't see there anymore
And all my time's been taken

Is this what it seems?
The lure of a dream
And I'm afraid to walk back through that door
To find that I've awakened

The night seems to care
The dreams in the air
The snow's coming down
It beckons me dare

It whispers, it hopes
It holds and confides
And offers a bridge
Across these divides

The parts of my life
I've tried to forget
It's gathered each piece
And carefully kept

Somewhere in the dark
Beyond all the cold
There is a child
That's part of my soul

Got to get back to a reason
Got to get back to a reason I once knew
And this late in the seasons
One by one distractions fade from view
The only reason I have left is
You

That's depressing.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

Is it?

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

It doesn't sound happy.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

There are threads of hope in it.

I'm not entirely certain for what.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

Do you celebrate Christmas, brother?

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

That depends on what you mean by "celebrate." Probably by most people's definitions, no. There hasn't really been anyone to celebrate with in...a long time.

I still observe some of the traditions of Jul, but...even that seems a bit pointless, now, given how subsumed they have been.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

So, no.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

...No.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

I haven't either, not for a very long time. You know, besides the years Klaus kept me in a coffin. I very much doubt he did any decorations.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

Hanging lights on a tree was never exactly his style, no. Though I remember when we used to have the servants decorate everything in England...

Granted, it would have seemed strange if we didn't, then.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

I always thought it was beautiful.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

It was.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

[Wants to say it'd be nice to have it again...but doesn't.]

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

[Is sort of intuitive sometimes...]

Do you want to celebrate this year?

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

[Fakes a casual attitude, shrugging as she tilts her head in consideration.]

I suppose we could.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

[Just as casually]

We are back together--it seems a family sort of thing to do.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

[Finally a smile breaks through]

Then that's what we should do.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

[Smiles back]

All right. We will.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

Good.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

Anything else we can do that you'd like?

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

Anything? I'm horribly bored.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

Well, we can't have that. But you'll have to give me some ideas of what you might like to do...my idea of fun generally is far...tamer than Klaus's.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

How much tamer?

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

I'm really not up for slaughtering half the town.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

I do have some control, Elijah, believe it or not. I don't always need to kill to have fun.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

I know.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

Are you sure about that?

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

I am.

We could go out to a club? You always liked dancing.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

I like that idea. Will you dance with me?

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

Of course. I think I remember how to. [Looks innocent. Is totally joking]

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? It's my understanding that dancing has changed lately, it won't be waltzes.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly certain I can keep up, even so.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

I guess we'll see, won't we?

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

I'll take that as a personal challenge.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping so.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

And try not to disappoint.

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

I know that you won't.

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

I'm glad one of us is certain of that.
