SUNRISE

In the silence of winter
My window beckons me
I'd sit here alone
Quiet struggle inside my mind

I wanted to cover up what my sorrow knows
But my heart can't turn away from this

In the bleakness of the candle's light
You left me with my paranoia
There is nothing that could lift my spirit
I want nothing more than to forget

I needed to see you once more
But you left me before I could ask

Unable to face my reflection
Spring's colors disgust me
I turned away from reason
And was born to darkness

The leaves are falling again
Reminding me of this curse I bear
I see her ghost in the mist
Dancing alone, without me

I wanted to cover up what my sorrow knows
But my heart can't turn away from this
I needed to see you once more
But you left me before I could ask

Maybe she's happier without me
Lifetimes would pass and I would never know

I have no reason to stay here
I hold nothing but a void inside
Maybe she's happier without me
Lifetimes would pass and I would never know

Winter's come to haunt me again
Dead roses scattered on the floor
I'll step out into the sunrise
Kiss her photograph, close my eyes
