Daydreamer 03:09
The sun, it whispers in my mind Its pale glow reflects off abstract Forms, as the wind grates against my skin If I repent will it make me feel again? I’m sick of living life with deadened nerves that can’t feel the dread within Lulled to sleep by the leaves above my grave I’m granted sight of life that was depraved As they wither and writhe before my eyes Blotting out my darkened sky The weight of the world it breaks my bones, but I’ll carry it all The weight of fear, weight of hate, weight of pain, weight of loss The weight of self-disgust Yet still I cling to life Still I cling to this cold life And I know now this is what I crave A life dulled from the sadness and the pain Caught in the aftermath of daydreams destined to come to pass I feel this is the only life I’ll know Bloodstains of a time so long ago I feel so cold Swallow the sun, swallow the sun, swallow the sun I will swallow the sun to fill the void inside Swallow the sun, swallow the sun, swallow the sun I will swallow the sun to fill the void Lulled to sleep by the leaves above my grave I’m granted sight of a life that was depraved As they wither and writhe before my eyes Blotting out my darkened sky Oh, I know now this is what I crave A life dulled from the sadness and the pain Caught in the aftermath of daydreams destined to come to pass Collapse from the weight, these dreams compress me My mind is so weary and my words depress me Clawing at the walls, they are trapped inside me My legs feel so heavy, they refuse to move me Collapse from the weight

Nights like this, I want to be alone Nights like this, just let me be alone It’s all a joke, and I don’t want to live anymore All you’ve done is build me up to break me down again Its nights like this I see no light at the end of this tunnel Am I doomed to descend forevermore? Left to rot on my own, so cold and so alone Drowning in sorrow I’m just a remnant of the world I used to know I saw no hope in your eyes I find no solace in these grey skies All I ever wanted is for you to be alive once more And these suicidal thoughts are just closing doors These thoughts are just closing doors I watched you go, I saw you leave I watched you go and leave me (x3) You put the full stop where the sentence blossoms into a story (x2) And now I’m left here, alone

It shouldn’t be hard to comprehend It was a promise you made and a promise you knew you’d break You said goodbye in a bed of roses A second it takes to become a memory You call it progress, this broken world that I see Just as my thoughts, how often they brought reality into my hands Lifeless bodies drift out of sight from my callous eyes And your shadow creeps beyond the sight of my conscious mind I live through the days but don’t feel alive These storms will carry us And I’ll continue without you I’ve wasted my time by looking for light In places that I never knew You said it’d be easy But we both know it wasn’t true Oh, how I long for the state of mind I possessed before I had known you Dragging myself through the mists of stagnation Convincing myself I’m beyond your redemption Broken and bound by the stench of my failures Drifting through absences left by familiars What was so wrong with the past, that we had to move on to the future? These storms will carry us And I’ll continue without you I’ve wasted my time by looking for light In places that I never knew These nights are far too long And it hurts but I carry on I’m finished shedding my skin with each day But my eyes still burn in the light of day These storms will carry us And I’ll continue without you I’m wasting time by looking for light In places I never knew
