A Need to Reflect – Six String Vandals

There should be some neon signs, to give us clues to life’s designs, some kind of reason so sublime, why you have chosen me?

What kind of spell has cast it’s magic, into two life’s once so tragic, defying all the powers of logic, setting passion free

Mmm, setting passion free 

A carnival with one attraction, born out of our shared reflection, ignoring all the bland rejection, of where we want to be

Science gives us perfect answers, but can’t explain the joy of dancers, who’s movement moves the hearts of men and sets the spirits free

It’s a need to reflect, a time for hearts to rule the heads of men, and the women who can bring them to their knees

Find the curse and bring it to me, wring from it a grain of truth, nothing born of callow youth, experience is king

For nothing else provides the power, to shake the curse and wrest from it, new hope where there should be none, that you’ll return to me

But the best I can do is just be with you; I know you understand the limitations; and the ties that bind us to another life

A room so bare with sunlight trying, to pierce the gloom, reveal the table, on which sits the pale blue letter, written in you’re hand

Telling of a future glowing, the confidence of youth empowering, you’re words first lifting up then showering, me with hope anew

We search the skies for answers, while the questions still elude, is it all there right before us, if we could only see?

To catch hold of a shooting star, ride its glory past the gods, who smiling down provide the pattern of our destiny

There’s a need to reflect, a time for hearts to rule the heads of those, who seek, to keep us from our love

It’s a need to reflect, a time for hearts to rule the heads of men, and the women who can bring them to their knees
