At the waters edge, I stare at my reflection,
Counting all my wounds
Silence; the song of melancholy plays again.
With these fallen leaves, bleeding into autumn;
No one hears my words,
Finally leaving big city lights below...
Whenever dreams are left to rot
Know in the end, that tears will flow
My eyes are open one more time,
As I watch you decomposing... over again
Try and buy back time, maybe it's too late now
Did you hear my words?
I left a message that nobody else could read
Was the pain not enough? Or the fear too much?
Back to race you'll go...
In concrete your heart will be embalmed
Whenever dreams are left to rot
Know in the end, that tears will flow
My eyes are open one more time,
As I watch you decomposing... over again
Over and over again, see you falling
Softly, like leaves to the painful,
Memories of life
I want to know just how, the words can carve a soul
You need to show me how, the light, leads you to burn.
