With a step and a tear I confront uncertainty and fear A second that felt like many years I here the whisper of goodbyes in my ears Long has this moment been coming But only now do I start questioning Seeing all the little things and wondering How can this be right? When everything is ending When all thru the night I’m kept awake by the feeling Like a king that lost everything Like a mother that lost a child I scream in vain to the sky With nothing but solitude on my side Suddenly left alone without an ally I want to break down and cry But instead I stand here and lie Holding it inside, can’t say goodbye Pretending that I am okay Fooling everyone but myself This truly is the longest day Constantly at the brink of tears Can’t say I didn’t know I’d feel this way So I keep running, till it all disappears Eventually I’ll have to stop running Eventually I’ll have to stop escaping Eventually I’ll have to give it time to fall on me Eventually the ground I stand on will fade to shadow Eventually the sky will fall to ashes The sea of past fire will drown in tears

Burning Tears
With a step and a tear I confront uncertainty and fear A second that felt like many years I here the whisper of goodbyes in my ears Long has this moment been coming But only now do I start questioning Seeing all the little things and wondering How can this be right? When everything is ending When all thru the night I’m kept awake by the feeling Like a king that lost everything Like a mother that lost a child I scream in vain to the sky With nothing but solitude on my side Suddenly left alone without an ally I want to break down and cry But instead I stand here and lie Holding it inside, can’t say goodbye Pretending that I am okay Fooling everyone but myself This truly is the longest day Constantly at the brink of tears Can’t say I didn’t know I’d feel this way So I keep running, till it all disappears Eventually I’ll have to stop running Eventually I’ll have to stop escaping Eventually I’ll have to give it time to fall on me Eventually the ground I stand on will fade to shadow Eventually the sky will fall to ashes The sea of past fire will drown in tears
