nightmares relived

 
Even if I breathe my heart won’t beat again
In fear I hide in the depths of my own memories
Memories that hurt me less than the world
So don’t let me live; that way my scars might heal
Alone I wish to forever be, don’t let me die twice

Stars let not your light shine on me
Cover your brightness in my despair
This alone I can do for you
To be a shadow of the night

My time repeats itself to hurt me over again
Let me run and I will not tell the secrets of the heart
Who are you that hold me down in death?
My eyes and strength betray me
With me it will go, let me be buried with the night

Shadows caress me with your kisses
Let it be that I disappear
See me no more but in your dreams
I failed you once, twice let me die
