In fading distant dreams you will return,
Until you are a whisper,
A ghost in my emotion
Embrace your world and all it holds,
Keep your mind's false sanctuary,
Spread your wings and try to soar
Cast love aside and look away,
A wake of pain trailing behind,
Follow the blind with open eyes
Searching for your absolution,
Knowing it doesn't exist,
Self-given atonement, for self-made sins
Your compassion strangely vacant,
A façade to hide the hate,
Your sincere lies flow easily
A feigned image of your soul,
Forgotten virtues long since dead,
Your voice haunts my dreams
Stand back and watch me fall,
Clutch the air where I once stood
The emptiness, just a reflection of your heart
In fading distant dreams you still return,
Nothing more than a whisper,
A remnant of our love
Cast love aside and look away,
A wake of pain trailing behind
Stand back and watch me fall,
Clutch the air where I once stood
The emptiness, just a reflection of your heart
Stand back and watch me fall,
I spread my wings but I fail to soar,
Stand back and watch me fall
Better dead than half alive,
Stand back and watch me fall
