when the fire burns higher than the evergreens
        and the smoke rings start choking your broken dreams
when the wind pulls you in to a different scene
        still a light shines through.

the window panes fade to grey in the pouring rain
        the glass cracks and shatters inside your veins
your blood slows and flows to a different plane
        but still a light shines through.

but you pull down your shades and cloak it
        in a darkness so thick you could smoke it
the truth so cold it sent shivers through my soul
        and I watched it unfold as i spoke it

what once was a friendship is now decay
        it was painful to watch it all thrown away
but you live life in darkness now anyway
        no more light shines through

you're drowning in the waters and you can't stay dry
        your ears fallen deaf, and your eyes have gone blind
your mouth's full of lies, yet you wonder why
        no more light shines through

and you pull down your shades and cloak it
        in a darkness so thick you could smoke it
the truth, so cold it sent shivers through my soul
        and I watched it unfold as I spoke it.
