Through many nights of unsound sleep I've heard you say my name You held your hand out through the haze And whispered "Come and find me..." Your invitation woke in me The hurt to hold out hope You've ruined me, Stole all from me, And I have always loved you. If I could take away the nights I longed to touch your hands Or smell your hair Or hear your laugh Or know you missed me too I would. You took my very confidence, Walked away with all my pride Doused my trust and struck a match Reduced my faith to cinders. Your love was never really mine, Those sparks alive inside your eyes Told me I was not enough Impressions all re-told, relayed And carved into the hands I hold Fists I clench ask I stay brave Despite the truth I thought I'd stayed Bid farewell and walked away I've hated every single day I thought your eyes were mine But found out later lied at times And left me in a state of stupor Stayed up late refreshing thoughts In hopes I'd see you one life sooner Not have to wait another chapter You spin your story, yet another, I've found my ending with my lover The one I've loved in living matter In skin and bone and days forever, Not dreams that lived through dying embers, Fantasies of youthful slumbers Our dreams were worthy of remembering Days spent in September, singing, Laughing like our youths together Holding hands, through frightened fetters Hearts and promises were breaking As I recall, the air was heavy Thick with quaint and distant longing Brought my blood to painful burning, Exalted fears to basic yearning, Turned away, last second learning, Tears in eyes tore me asunder Brought me to my lowest standing I can't afford to be so petty Perdition's path turned me astray That road was ours to walk together But we got lost along the way Our paths will cross again, I wager But not the way we walked before I've learned to trust my loss and anger The pain is weakness leaving me Reminders grief was all worth feeling Wisdom that to life there's more I have mine and you have yours Remember that these bonds are precious Like soothing rain that stops the storm Like distant clouds on the horizon Like winds that settle change's roar I left your memories on the shore I've walked away, I'm hurt no more I've left your memories on the shore

Light-footed and quick-witted You must always be For the storm that comes You must outrun For in the end, death comes for you and me So run, my dear, Towards the setting sun Now it seems my time's come to an end When I'll say goodbye to all My dearest friends I've made my peace with Sins I couldn't save So just lay me down into my six-foot grave For to be alive, You must bleed Straight from the depths of Your heart It's funny how life can Swiftly tend to be A battle from the back To the start But I believe The power of the mind You'll be surprised By what you'll find For I know a surgeon who lives Upon a hill He says saving men Is his only thrill He's a wealthy man Concerned with lack of wealth He's a healthy man Concerned with lack of health But now it seems His time's come to an end When he'll say goodbye To all his dearest friends He's made his peace With lives he couldn't save So just lay him down Into his six-foot grave For to be alive, You must bleed Straight from the depths of Your heart It's funny how life can Swiftly tend to be A battle from the back To the start But I believe The power of the mind You'll be surprised By what you'll find
