The 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 it 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 I can be me
