How Could I Know
12:11
|

Once more I sit here
Waiting for you to come home
Left alone in the dark
As you found your way
Into the light
Drained from all the tears
That soaked up your heart
Suppressed from all these fears
That dragged me away
From you
As the grief gets greater
More than life itself
Your patience runs dry
As it burns a hole
In my heart
How could I know
Where to find you?
When I was lost myself
How could I know?
How could I see
This deepened pain
That stole the life inside?
How could I see?
The truth strays
Further away
The more I sit here
Waiting at your door
Regret takes over
And I cannot bare
To start this life again
It's over before I take a second breath
Gone
There's nothing here for me
In this life to stay but you

With Tears Unspoken
08:07
|

I've spent my time
In this fortress of shame
Meaning was never found
And my name, known to no one
I'm just a ghost
Inside these white four walls
In which I call my own
The writing on these walls
Will show you who I am
(What I've always been)
For those who care to read
Leave me here with nothing
And walk away
Tell me what you see
When you look at me
With tears unspoken
Seems I have lost my way
Down this shadowy road
For years I've gone broken
With tears unspoken
With this world unknowing of me
All this luck I'd find, has now past me
Looking back in scorn
As hope slips through my fingertips
Now are you ready for me?
I remember the dark smothering me
With so many lies
Told to my eyes
There's no truth of ourselves
And no light of who I am

Reflection of You
09:47
|
|||
A cynical mind
Facing the truth
Seeing the true face of beauty
For the first time
Oh, how it brings such peace
You make everything beautiful
Must be a reflection of you
Sink into the depths
Of your deepest desires
We'll become one
As your eyes pierce through
Into my soul
That was once shattered
You've picked up the pieces
One by one
Put back together
With your gentle touch
Hold me and say my name
Touch me
I won't be the one to blame
When I won't wanna let go
Everything in this world
Seems so beautiful with you
Must be the reflection of you

Despair seeps through
My cracked and ashing body
Stare into the abyss
And embrace the realm of nothingness
My home, my temple, my heart
I wear this shame and guilt
And veil the purity within
Regret has taken over
Closer to pain and grief
And I cannot see past this
No more
A feeling not quite like anything else
A gutwrenching sense of existential nostalgia
Stare into the abyss
And embrace the realm of nothingness
My home, my temple, my heart

Until the End
08:48
|
|||
My hands so cold
I touched your grieving heart
And you left me there waiting
For these pages of sorrow to burn
And roll away in nothingness
What is this life I lead?
Drinking the wine from your tears
And soaking up all your shame
And what will this leave me?
More heartache and pain?
I cannot bare..
So close I had got to you
To heal this broken heart
As long as I'm with you
I'm there until the end
To stitch these wounds
I've lost your touch
And I cannot bare to face this alone
Will I ever see your face again?
Please, come back to me
Hold my hand
As we wander in all this dark

This Is Where It Ends
08:00
|
|||
Seeing through my eyes
I'd give anything
To see the world start over
It could explain the infinite
The afterlife of me after I died
What is my calling?
Because all the laughter ceased
How can I ever feel again?
Even my ghost won't want to return
Hush
Don't try to stop me now
This is the coming after the strom
Everything was meant to be bittersweet
So when I leave the world tonight
I don't want to be saved
This is where it ends
Self Sabotage, my biggest flaw
We are all trying to find our way in this world
My days are numbered
As my skin starts to slowly crumble
Wasting my time in a toxic mind
Is my bitter end
