Night Fire 05:13

We wander through the darkness Pondering what is hardest A life void of efforts Empty of tireless errors Or could we try? To let ourselves comply? Pulling back the curtain Allowing the uncertain I know I wasn’t invited But would you let me in? I can’t promise you no pain But sacrifices must be made I know I wasn’t invited But would you let me in? I can’t promise you no pain But sacrifices must be made You can only adore me If you hold the door open for me Surrender Give in This is not a sin I know your heart is aching To be seen with hungry eyes Unbridled desire is knocking Begging for just one bite You know you can’t resist The sweetest undead kiss I’m staring into your wanting Won’t you succumb tonight? I know I wasn’t invited But would you let me in? I can’t promise you no pain But sacrifices must be made Can you really hide Your heart so deep inside? We won’t know unless we try So come on, open wide We won’t know unless we try, so come on Open wide

Holding by a thread, Cut the tether, float away, Drift and sway, See it all start to fade... On your own it’s been so long, Now you just don’t feel as strong, Thought you had the strength to stand, All around you were outstretched hands... When the lines were cast There was nothing to hold you fast, The wind then took hold, And you lost all control... Can you celebrate a victory, When it aches just like defeat, When every small advance, Feels like a great retreat? Can you keep on moving forward, When every step causes you pain, When every fiber of your being, Struggles against the strain? Holding by a thread, Cut the tether, float away Drift and sway, See it all start to fade... Can you celebrate a victory, When it aches just like defeat, When every small advance, Feels like a great retreat? Can you keep on moving forward, When every step causes you pain, And every fiber of your being, Struggles against the strain? Can you force out a smile, When you’re too tired to act, When you realize it’s over, And there’s no more turning back? Can you celebrate a victory, When it aches just like defeat, When every small advance, Feels like a great retreat? Can you keep on moving forward, When every step causes you pain, And every fiber of your being, Struggles against the strain?

Seasons die, so do you and I But we try to find a way to make it through this life Hiding behind the innocence of every childhood lie Years go by until we see through every cheap disguise I wish that I could see that this would be my last time I wish that I had known I’d be in this dark alone, my last light Paralyzed by every sorrow deep inside The scars we hide are proof of everything that we’ve survived Pushing through The world won’t just wait for you So tonight set your fear and pain alight I wish that I could see that this would be my last time I wish that I had known I’d be in this dark alone, my last light Now is the time to enjoy our lives Now is the time to forgive our crimes Now is the time embrace the light before the shadows fall for the last time

I know I’m hard to reach inside There was so much I used to hide That version of me you don’t know was made of stone I was taught that boys don’t cry To swallow all my pride What would I give to be free from lock and key Change, I won’t change I could change But why risk the pain? Though these walls may be tall You’ve made it passed them all Should I take this chance for one more dance? Change, I won’t change I could change But why risk the pain? Yearn, I still burn It’s my turn to try and break these chains Look at all I’ve lost I now know the cost Will we find home here, and let go of all that we fear?

Dying Moon 05:02
Watch another moonrise Will it make it alright Or has the chance gone? What’s broken never heals What’s lost stays gone We touch without feeling Painless for a moment But the cold bleeds into me As I watch you leave What’s broken never heals What’s lost stays gone Light fades from a dying moon A sliver of bone piercing the night
7.
If I could sleep If I could dream If I could sleep I’d dream of you Can I help you find your way back to me? Miles away from our yesterdays Will they remain just out of reach? If I could sleep If I could dream If I could sleep I’d dream of you
