Sentiment's Last Breath
I awoke in the silence
Your image vanished
I stared into darkness
Your touch faded
Leaving me panicked...
The sun is rising
Over a dead world
And I fear for the future
And I fear missing you
Burning star rising
Over nothing but ash
And I run toward the light
And I run from the past
Can you feel the warmth?
Do you know my desires?
And I try to convey them
And I try to erase them
The daylight breaks
Over desolate desert
And I witness mirages
And I witness the end
The horizon flickers
Transforming gold into black
And I long for the comfort
And I long for the pain
The sound of a flame
Extinguished within
A morning vision
Deceives me again
And I know what is real
And I know where it lies
The sun’s ascent has halted
The earth isn’t turning
And I feel myself falling
And I feel your heart leave me
I awoke in the silence
Into remnants of day
And I watch as my world
Crumbles softly away
