Hope, like a steel tower we cannot climb. In sorrow we confide.
Dead, like the way I feel inside. A rift torn through my soul.

Cold, like the way you chose to say goodbye.
Cold, like the day you walked into your grave.

Empty, like the way I am without you.
Warm, like all the memories we shared.
Courage found in the will to carry on.

Life. A metaphor for pain. Solemnly I watch as the skyline fades away. The horizon calls my name. Tempting my departure from this forsaken place. Whispering the words I so dearly need to hear. Alas, no shelter from the rain. Suffering forever. This twisted, endless, game.

You were as bold as the night sky. Ideas in your mind, your heart was kind. I needed you like a blanket in December. Those nights with you I will always remember. That spot on my chest, where your head used to rest. Now a vacant space from night to night. I long for the stories you would whisper in my ear. Reaching for the ceiling, I realize my fears. Reality. A crushing blow. To know you're gone for good.

Carried in his heart,
Those words spoken in the dark
Her eyes so full of wonder
Enchanted by the twilight
Daylight's come to end
Two hearts together learn to mend

He thought of her every night before he went to sleep

Without her, the word "beauty" would be incomplete

Into his dreams, she always found a way

Without her, nightmares ravaged his brain

In a gust of wind, he felt freedom
He felt chains fall from his wrists
Shackles shatter from his ankles
His burdened mind freed from it's cage

And with the wind, he chose to travel
To see the beauty in each tomorrow
No more drowning in his sorrow

At first daylight, he took to the road
Destination still unkown
He traveled light, and alone
His heart was open to the world
