dampened by a false rain that the leaves now let descend stirred by a midnight wind and i grow disenchanted with the earth beneath my tread and in skies overhead
so i climb a metal stair in simple hopes to disappear how long will you keep me waiting wearried by the thoughts that still hold you near
and can you feel it, soft as lamplight yet still more unyielding than the voice that calls please stop there’s nothing left and can you hear it in the distance calling you and pulling you to a life that you left because it threatened to drag you down can you see it, softer than the rainfall or a lovers gaze that you broke from the fear that it threatened to let you drown and in the end there’s so much more to say
and in your words i find disillusion arms wide and eyes shut tight and life’s too demanding, it takes too much i miss your torture, i miss your touch
and that light from your eyes that once promised to guide my way is so far away from here the deceit from your lies that left me in this pain echoes softly in my ears
and can you feel it, soft as lamplight yet still more unyielding than the voice that calls please stop there’s nothing left and can you hear it in the distance calling you and pulling you to a life that you left because it threatened to drag you down can you see it, softer than the rainfall or a lovers gaze that you broke from the fear that it threatened to let you drown and in the end there’s nothing more to say
morning broke as i crept pulling cobwebs from my brain reliving nights of childish tears and the lies that i held in secret wracked my frame they left me shaken, and unclear if i could ask one question, it would simply be are you listening? i beg you now, please end this rain
wind, take my cloven footprints and paint my tongue with rust once i faultered an expression thinking of eternal dust you took my will to love you you took my will to trust you want me when you cannot have me your in a state of wanderlust
and the light from your eyes that once promised to guide my way is so far away from here the deceit from your lies that left me in this pain please end this rain
