DraconianThe Failure Epiphany

I see your picture and all I feel is sorrow
no hate no love...no barren signs from above
can I be you for a while?
let me see
can you be me for a moment?
let it be...resolution
only regret seals the night where I uncover myself
for those bygone days amid scenes of dread
resolve my love into sheer mercy
god knows how many mornings I woke in torment
staring into the daytime void, lost in fault and wonder
walking the fields where poisoned flowers swell
embittered into revulsion
confused I face how stern and devious is reality
you conquered me with your delusion
then I vanished into blank pages already written
endurance and devotion kills each other
as a demon enters our room
and something dies
something dies inside of me
drowns in the vale of tears around me
with a beacon of hope we could levitate like dancing on air
and there in that moment we'll at last find solace
abundance shining greater than any dream
the morning breaks so cold...so cold
my face looks so old...so old
I rend my nails on the wall I've built around me
only in the shade can I be free
only in the shade can I be...me
