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
