Melting like a candle left standing in the heat.
Placed light in the eyes of the mute,
Ending a violent landing.
Couldn’t quite get the hang of it could I?
Cut and dry...
Leave the water to drown me by,
This is not who I am.
Take a breath,
Let the flesh be damned,
When I’m broken in two.
Look at what the fall has done...
I’ll stay in this place,
Be that as it may, an ugly truth.
Take the hole in my heart,
That I left open for you.
We’ll play alone in the dark with the silver moon,
Minutes are shy with only a few...
It a lie in the face,
That is not how I feel.
A curse to possess a dreamer’s haste,
To believe what isn’t real.
Time really does break the deal...
It’s no good now,
To cry over me.
It’s no use now,
It's better to shut your eyes and sleep,
