Peer into my eyes Eclipsed lenses reflect the distance Between you and me We are further than we seem Hold my breath, my fingertips graze your palms But the warmth is gone Left to stumble in the dark I blinked and part of me was gone Hope goes up in smoke Vapor dissipates I lost my shadow I feel you slipping away, but I need you to stay You contour the source to black out the light My shadow For the sake of life, I cross the line To look back at the day I left myself behind, self-separated from soul I lost my shadow Black out Dancing shapes against the wall The somber melody inside Sings in black and white The glow flickers out, glimmer into night I lost my shadow Black out the light Hollow, cold Self from soul Self-separated from soul I lost my shadow Black out the light Hollow and cold Self from soul I lost my shadow Black out the light Hollow and cold Self from soul For the sake of life, I cross the line To look back at the day I left myself behind, self-separated from soul I lost my shadow, shadow I lost my shadow Black out the light Hollow and cold Self from soul

Your cloud hovers over me Oceans of grey Blanket the flashing light Drawing the curtains closed I forge a shelter yet it drenches me Torrential downpour endlessly Casting a shade on purity Forging a shelter, it drenches me So tell me, do you believe Do you believe you can love me? Stargazing under the darkness of my roof The clouds blot out the pale moonlight “As surely as the sun rises” Says the cloud to her moon I know it wasn’t good for me The way the rain showered me lonely Did you believe You could love me? The heavens break Cloud cascade Quench the torch on my own skin So I can stand in her storm Tide shifting, earth shakes Crashing from the weight of gravity Casting a shade on purity Forging a shelter, it drenches me So tell me, do you believe? Do you believe you can love me? Water stands on my skin Runs my blood cold, yet I will never hide Stargazing under the darkness of my roof The clouds blot out the pale moonlight “As surely as the sun rises” Your cloud hovers over me Drawing the curtains closed

The end and now Without my eyes Staring fierce into the blackened sky Vibrating skin, caused by my boiling veins Just seal the air out Sinking up and slowly floating down As I gaze upon the pillars wilting at my feet Speaking in silence Falling asleep into Still quiet space Pray that I wake again Why am I killing myself? All of me is not for you to take For you to take A fraction in time We are so lost between the end and now A broken sliver, shards of mirror crafted collectively Endless river, the flow of eternity Face to face, staring at my gaze in the water Once a ripple, now quiet and still Speak in silence, fall asleep Into quiet, pray I wake Speak in silence, fall asleep Into quiet, pray I wake Speaking in silence, falling asleep into Still quiet space, pray that I wake again My hollow self is nothing less than a pawn in this game No time for rest when time is everything As I'm waking up I'm traveling on borrowed time There I am bound, a fraction in time A fraction in time, the end and now

I've been waiting far too long For the flowers to bloom Scared to have these fingers pried open Afraid I'm falling away from you Dusk falls, surrounding Am I in love with the fear of losing everything? Am I in love with the feeling? There's something in the way you follow Something in the way in you follow Dusk falls, surrounding Closed eyes plead to deaf ears Plead to deaf ears Dust dancing Floating between windows And the light on my skin, suspended in a sunbeam Waiting while the darkness seeps through So I turn to you and ask instead Is it alright if I sleep? Can I climb into the safety of my sheets? The only place I can close my eyes The silent unrest I'll trade peace for oblivion And calm my mind But I won't sleep tonight Dusk falls, surrounding Am I in love with the fear of losing everything? Am I in love with the feeling? There's something in the way you follow Something in the way in you follow Dusk falls, surrounding Closed eyes plead to deaf ears Plead to deaf ears

Shapeshifter, an everchanging hue Chromatic variance I can see right through Sharpen your senses, blend with the backdrop That obscures you, concealed by fear Hiding in plain sight I can't replace you, I never meant to I regret to say you were one of a kind Understand we share a bond that was left behind Shapeshifter, no color looks like you, world turning grey All you want is something new Shapeshifter, your color's burning out I watched you fade away into decay We stared at the sun Gazed into the haze until the colors faded into a shade of delusion Drifting away, you traded doubt for fate, a sorry soul at stake You've become another shapeshifter I knew you by distance You showed me there's no love like loss Count the seconds, recall the memories Spindles descending from the calloused hands of time You showed me there's no love like loss I regret to say you were one of a kind Understand we share a bond that was left behind Brothers who loved one another We had a lot to lose, it shouldn't have been you Shapeshifter, no color looks like you, world turning grey All you want is something new Shapeshifter, your color's burning out I watched you fade away like you never wanted dark

Run into the dark, keep my two worlds apart Choke out the light, extinguish what burns in me Hold my breath, feel the hole inside my chest Bleed out your life so I can breathe I wake up shaking cold Always alone, warmth is a home I can't find my way back to I was at home with you But I traded it for a shiver But I traded it for a shiver I traded it all Violent winter, frigid weather Heartbeat darker, spirit severed Keep me close, my soul is fading Keep me close, I hope you're waiting for me Violent winter, frigid weather Heartbeat darker, spirit severed Burn me to ashes, burn me to ashes I need to feel the flame Burn me to ashes, burn me to ashes There is no warmth without you I wake up shaking cold Always alone, warmth is a home I can't find my way back to I was at home with you But I traded it for a shiver But I traded it for a shiver I traded it all

Words fall short to make blood run red The blank page and the heart that beats dead Resuscitating useless dead ends Letters from a prison cell bleed black Darkness illustrated, empty inside Could I have stretched my hand to pull you back? Could I have spoken a word to dry your tears at last? Slip through my fingers, orphaned from home I am truly alone Are there ears to hear me Crying out in the dark? Is there a hand to pull me Out of the sea, the sea of sorrow? Flatlines draw an attempt to color us right back together Nooses tying up loose ends like stories that were never penned Resuscitating useless dead ends Bleed Black My heart has hardened to stone I believe I am truly alone Could I have stretched my hand to pull you back? Could I have spoken a word to dry your tears at last? Slip through my fingers, orphaned from home I am truly alone Are there ears to hear me Crying out in the dark? Is there a hand to pull me Out of the sea, the sea of sorrow? Are there ears to hear me Crying out in the dark? Is there a hand to pull me Out of the sea, the sea of sorrow?

Floral field, you spoke my name Emerging to the surface from a darkened strain Swiftly floating up, separating from myself Disconnected, drifting on my own If I stop for a second, I can hear it say "The light within was always bright in me" Treading safely, resting closed away Show me clarity, reveal Moments that could heal the pain Falling under what I feel Embracing escape, never let it slip away Taking over, you let it slip away Falling under what I feel Taking over Maybe time will tell what's real in this Never to enter the void again So devouring Can I tell if this is real or should I face reality? Never cease to be Something inside is rising, I feel it taking over me A gentle breeze illuminates "The light within was always bright in me" Shine in the darkness when I can't see Show me clarity, reveal Moments that could heal the pain Falling under what I feel Embracing escape, never let it slip away Taking over, you let it slip away Falling under what I feel Taking over, you let it slip away Maybe time will tell what's real in this

Look into me, count what I've lost Broken wings, weary with grief The sum of all our costs Broken wings with no light to cling to Floating toward a ray of hope Only this nocturnal lens to dream through I found you in the dark Nocturnal drift of a black heart Filled with the blazing light Burning bright, yet you always hide Shine on me In the warmth of the sunlight Shine on me Dare to leave the night Force my rest, sleep under dust Can I repair these wings? Close the gaps that sting? Should I prepare my tomb? Is that enough for you? Kiss the fire, the glowing coal against my lips Let a dead man earn his rest Sleep under the dust You love to see me burn Broken wings with no light to cling to A moth in a world of butterflies Floating toward a ray of hope These hands have more to prove I found you in the dark Nocturnal drift of a black heart Filled with the blazing light Burning bright, yet you always hide I found you in the dark Shine on me You love to see me burn Shine on me Sleep under dust

It all felt so real The flow of life that left The world whispered your name In colors so dull and expressionless Was there anything? Maybe I was trying to pretend I wonder if you felt it all along You saw the beginning to the end You watch me drift away Over and over again I'm drowning in the rain, wither away Bury the pain in the hopeless deep Scorched beneath the skin Leaving the surface to make amends Buried in the pain again, but this time It all felt so real Find my way, see through the grey In the hopeless deep The quiet that used to put me to sleep Seems so loud in this restless bleak Watch me drift away painlessly Is it selfish to say I don't deserve it? The constant rain withers me The fine line between giving up and letting go You watch me drift away Over and over again I'm drowning in the rain over and over Wither away over and over again I'm drowning in the pain The quiet that used to put me to sleep Seems so loud in this restless bleak Watch me drift away painlessly Is it selfish to say I don't deserve it?
