When I wake

When I wake, something inside me breaks
Holding back the time until I sleep again
Woe to me, I'm forever lost to thee
Woe to thee, you're forever lost to me

Let me sleep forever, fade into the clouds
Sublime emotion blowing in the wind

Human thoughts, like darkness to a flame
Depart not as thy shadow came
Your grave to be fear, a dark reality
Your sympathy lost or never meant to be

My fright and the beating, the beating of my heart
Close my eyes in silence and take me in your arms

What have you done?
Reveal your heart
Your suffocating silence
Tears me apart
So break this seal
Where the quiet remains
Where lovers mourn
Broken and torn

Only a wakeful silence of mourning shades
Embodied forever into the stream

When you sleep I sow what you reap
But as you cry something inside me dies

When I wake, something inside me breaks
In your eyes I watch how something dies

What have you done?
Reveal your heart
Your suffocating silence
Tears me apart
So break this seal
Where the quiet remains
Where lovers mourn
Broken and torn
