Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in fading light,
A silent game on a lonely night.
Cards are dealt, a whispered plea,
But one is gone for all to see.
He collects the suits, a weathered hand,
Diamonds glitter, across the land.
Hearts beat softly, a crimson hue,
Clubs stand steady, loyal and true.
Missing spades, a hollow space,
Lost potential, time and grace.
A shadowed king, a vacant throne,
A piece departed, all alone.
She remembers hands, a skillful play,
Ace of spades, bright as day.
A winning gamble, a hopeful sign,
Now just a ghost in her mind.
Missing spades, a hollow space,
Lost potential, time and grace.
A shadowed king, a vacant throne,
A piece departed, all alone.
He checks the deck, a careful sweep,
For a hidden card, secrets to keep.
Each corner turned, a fragile quest,
To fill the void within his chest.
Missing spades, a hollow space,
Lost potential, time and grace.
A shadowed king, a vacant throne,
A piece departed, all alone.
Like a *Petasites japonicus*, root unbound,
A vital part, nowhere to be found.
The garden withers, incomplete,
A fragile balance, bittersweet.
A broken pattern, softly sighs,
Reflected sorrow in weary eyes.
She spreads the cards, a final look,
A story told in a forgotten book.
The Queen of Hearts begins to weep,
For a missing promise, buried deep.
Missing spades, a hollow space,
Lost potential, time and grace.
A shadowed king, a vacant throne,
A piece departed, all alone.
Empty box, the game is done,
A single card, forever gone.
Missing spades, a silent plea,
Lost to time, for you and me.
