Twas wee hours of the morning,
'course she'd come early
she's always been a morning person
yet I never was

so we ushered the morning
in throes of pain and tears
shouts and crying
some of joy, some fear

But as she breathed her first
I found love
and as little hands lay on my chest
I thought,
maybe this morning wasn't so bad

lie to me love
forget that I hurt
forget my past traumas
push the knife in my back

promise me forever
though you'll never stay
leave me breathless
then rip my heart out

remind me that love is pain
future hurt guised as affection
promises are just words
waiting to be broken

Sing me to sleep once more
Don't let the shadows take me
Where sorrow dwells
With the soft caress of tears

For a moment
I close my eyes
Breathe deep and envision
The sunshine now lacking

As I exhale
Open my eyes
Despite the looming darkness
I clutch on the sliver of hope

Hope
That, that which once lost
Shall be regained
Despite the tragedy that seeks to drown me.

Light me up with new memories
Make me forget the old and gone
Burn into me
Passion and love

Treat me like glass
Make me forget I was broken before
Hold me tight in your embrace
And let me feel safe in your arms

Let's rewrite history
Like it was never before
And paint the grey sky.
In brilliant colours.

Shadows loom around
There is no sunshine today
The clouds are thick with rain
The air saturated in gloom

The children of the earth
Don grim faces
Eyes hold terror
But no tears fall

Tis the fear of the unknown
The powerful hold their fates in their hands
No one knows whether they will nurture or crush
But the odds don't look to great in their favour.

So you accidentally cheated,
***** a young girl to death,
Preying on other's wives
Stole your employer's cash

Committed several atrocities,
You were all smiles till you got caught,
Someone got to your head,
It's witchcraft

So you play the victim
The demons were at play
Beg for forgiveness
While you blame it on the devil.
