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 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
