What once was the center of so many worlds, A light for all to see, will never be forgotten as those planets still turn

A star that has gone and spent all its will to burn

Wedged into my ways by hammers of guilt and shame, I've buried myself beneath heavy bricks of blame

Every time I fall, I sink like a stone
Dropped into the ocean
Tossed by endless waves
I never get to rest
Someday I'm sure, I will reach the shore
Only to be taken back by the tide
Pulled back under the crushing ways

Oh nameless face
Where are you tonight
I've met you before
A different name
A different face
A light in a darkened place
You always appear suddenly
But then again you fade

Oh temporary hope
Eluding me again

I want to know where feelings go when they die
If they cease to exist, or if they were never more real than you or I
I wonder if those feelings don't dissipate at all, but fade and lie in wait for another day
Lying dormant, trampled like a doormat
All other emotions have right of way
Everything trying to escape
All I want is to stay
Just for once I want to feel
I want to know that its real
If I could just feel once more
To know if love can be reborn

Insides get tight while the mind unravels again, as alarms are ringing through walls of muscle and skin
Stubborn but patient, the heart beats on, waiting for a sign that it won't be wrong

I came here to be alone
Won't you stay away
If I had came here looking
It certainly wasn't for you
