Blueprints in the Dust

Empty picture frames and notes on paper

Glow with the gold of another summer

Coffee stains where our hands used to linger

Tracing old dreams with a trembling finger

We drew castles in the margins of days

Built tomorrows that never came

In the attic of my restless mind

Plans we mapped but left behind

You and I, we painted skies

Where every wish was underlined

Now blueprints gather dust with time

Echoes in rooms repainted and hollow

The plans we made that no one will follow

Midnight calls—your silence grew long

We rehearsed forever, but the script was wrong

Our names written in the sand have washed away

Footprints faded by the turning of the waves

In the attic of my restless mind

Plans we mapped but left behind

You and I, we painted skies

Where every wish was underlined

Now blueprints gather dust with time

[Instrumental Interlude]

(Strings and piano weave through acoustic guitar, echoing heartbeats of lost days, swelling and fading, carrying memories on wordless melodies)

I still see us on rain-washed streets

Tracing lines that never meet

And hear your laugh in autumn wind

A gentle ghost where we once had been

In the attic of my restless mind

Plans we mapped but left behind

You and I, we painted skies

Where every wish was underlined

Now blueprints gather dust with timeAll our futures softly fade

Ghostly sketches in the shade
