Where have you gone now to escape the dream,
To chase away dark night with false sunrise?
I used to be amazed at the way you sang to me,
But now I'm always dying for the way you hide.
Afraid to let the lights shine like yesterday,
To let the dancing shadows drag you under -
The wind in the trees is calling you back
And the rain on the grass soothes you to sleep.
What makes the sky so blue on the other side?
The mirror you broke through to paper forests
Is in shards all over the bedroom floor now,
And I wonder how much you bled to run away.
It's all so colorful to you once you drink up,
And fly to some foreign shore, a broken wreck
And the clouds will fade all around into night,
But soon, the flames will arrive to end it all.
I'll wait for you even as the last ship leaves.
No home, no future, no sun's kiss awaits now
When everything rests on poison and antidote,
And so the sky burns red with a storm of ash.
The candles would flare and die as you lifted
The hair from those dark shining eyes, that now
Have forged rings of consequence and loss -
And the illusion fades at the signal for sunset.
