Deadwood

Wandering near empty tombs, still-life rooms
Burning a weak light
Faintly the candle dies out

Still marching on, hopeless cries all around
In the end they scream
Why? Why?

I can see you, hear you
I can't walk this path on my knees
Why is the silence growing?
Loud, lonely, echoing

Alone at your grave, I step into the past
It's crawling farther from
Me, the light you once had was never meant to last
You're falling backwards

Left all on my own
My bloodied eyes turn grey
Dead branches fall from the tree
The wind screams away
But everything's the same
You're fading faster

Cry to the night
Hollow tears, lifeless dreams
That which you feared has kept you trapped deep inside
Feel what you feel
It's not real, it's not real
Call for the dead, no
They can't

Hear, they see you, taunt you
Feel, they know my pain all too well
Gone, in the shadows knowing
You left them in the dark

Alone at your grave, I step into the past
It's crawling farther from me
The light you once had was never meant to last
You're falling backwards

Left all on my own
My bloodied eyes turn grey
Dead branches fall from the tree
The wind screams away
But everything's the same
You're fading faster

Longing for days of the past
Broken dreams like shattered glass
Still I reject myself, me and no one else

Old songs that I used to hear
Vacant hymns no longer near
Drowned in my past regrets, times I can't forget

No, never again
I'll prevail, I won't fail
No, never again
I'll prevail, I won't fail
Free from my past life
I must try
Take me to my rapture

Free from your cold spell
Stuck in hell
Stuck to times I can't quell

If there was a way to take me back in time
I wonder if you'd see me
The light you once gave was taken from my grasp
I'm falling backwards

Still all on my own
My bloodied eyes turn grey
Dead branches fall from the tree
The wind screams away
But everything's the same
I'm fading faster
