A Sudden Demise

The sudden demise led me astray
Playing scared and alone
Countless escapes, this place of dread
Keeps pulling me right back
Oh, so true, retentive and right
How was the damage done?
Don't you see what we were?
And why this is wrong?

I try and I try to scatter the madness that clouds my sight
Caught in a fight, afraid that this madness will make me blind to life

Finding your way, make it in your own
How come that means I can't be there
Right by your side
Containing the coming storms
You'll be the wind, I'll be your wings
Leaving the world behind

Nothing but a craving's deception
Pain in a lie, I run and I hide
Afraid of the darkness that haunts my night
With all of my might
I run from the darkness in search of light
Harbour within your eyes

For all I know, a temper glow
Is buried deep inside us
A love untold, deprived and cold
Let you rest only to wither away

Could you be proud to what we're meant to be

For all I know, a tempered glow
Is buried deep inside of us
A love untold, deprived and cold
Let you rest only to wither away

In spite of it all (in spite of it all)
No matter the fall (no matter the fall)
Denied all that was
Our hearts still align
I know who you are
I know who I am, and just how I wish you
Could leave this world behind
