a Time Long Ago

Eternally, I'm yours

We only communicate through closed doors

Communication failure, what is left?

Anything to say? Another breath?

 

Will our love live to see another day?

 

Eternally, I'm grieving

I'm still broken

Having trouble believing

The words spoken

 

I gravitate towards you

Your beauty always radiates

Turn the grayest skies blue

And i cannot escape

 

...Even if i wanted to

 

Release me from this spell

Free me from this mental hell

How I'll never tell

Break me out of this shell

 

My personal demons are breeding

Spreading diseased thought

They're eating away my mind

I can't get out of these tangled knots

 

I lose myself in dreams

The closest to death i can get

With memories from a time long ago

With a pain I'll never forget

 

...If I can escape...If I could escape...

 

If you could find truth anywhere,

Let it be

In the words that expel from me

It's all i have left to give

It's all i have left to live

 

The colors are changing before my eyes

Turning red and orange under gray skies

As dull as life and as vibrant as death

I live on the thought of my last breath

 

The land is barren

Only the dead grow

Expanding indefinitely

In magnificent columns and rows

 

I'll take my rightful place among them

Not as a diamond in the rough

But an undiscovered gem
