Trembling woes pay no heed
Nor a breath to bring me back to life
As they flow and come to cease
My tears have no face left to hide

Beneath the stairs behind the wall
There would lie my secret chest
Now it's lost and I've burned it all
Along with sight of my lonely nest

There by the ashes I used to play
In memories that now I never see
A handful of magic that drifts away
In my tomorrow to set me free

A voice that still lingers on
Of the blurred eyes I beg to forget
In ruins where I quietly mourn
Where all my broken pieces are kept

How fast the arms can tick
One trick that you learn in time
A castle torn apart brick by brick
And no one's there to solve a crime

So the prison is made in dreams
Where the magic truly never dies
See for yourself how far you can lean
Before you take wings and learn to fly

And then when you must wake
Burn down the last of your dream
lest find yourself in a cage
Where no one ever hears a scream

So leave now when you can
Or the scars will rip you apart
You are but only a man
And every man owns a heart

Before you kiss despair you
Disappear in the depths of your skin
Lock the door and call a truce
And don't let anyone in

Where trembling woes pay no heed
Nor a breath to bring me back to life
As they flow and come to cease
My tears have no place to hide


So I ask this of you my friend
From the deepest abyss of this page
Remember all before you must end
In the season of ever withering age
