Hearts still ache over year-old breaks,
Tears still fall over near-forgotten pains
Tears falling to the bottom of a bottle; drink them all away
Wash away the hurts,
Frigid water lapping over chipping, fragile stone
I’m lost in tides of confusion, bittersweet escape
From the thoughts of my heart, and the feelings of my mind,
From the wrong indecision, and the mindless instinct
To wear my heart on my sleeve, to throw my soul on the ground
In front of your feet,
The burden of a heavy soul hardly makes a sound
As it shatters into pieces, I try to piece it back together,
The glass-like shards of my heart slice into my arms
Having risen from the ashes, you’ll find me waiting for you there
Having forsaken the moon, I wait for a new dawn, hope for a new sun
To break through this fog,
And to dry up the stinging tears that burn into me like fire
To let me thrive once more in its basking glow
To banish the shadows and cobwebs of my heart,
And to melt all these lonely footprints in the snow
Secluded and alone, I search the unknown, the shadow never shrinks
In the face of the sun, the dusk never fades,
Neither does the doubt, these questions of who I am
