The only sound here is my heartbeat
Thudding endlessly like your footsteps in my mind
In my dark room I am trapped
Another prisoner to love
My tears no longer fall
Long ago did they dry in my blind eyes
I can't find a way out
There is no light left to shine on my path
The candles have burned to pools
Drowning me like the memories
I am stuck inside my past
Love that was never meant to last
Moments of happiness repeating
Each killing me a little more
Torture to last an eternity
I cannot hear those trying to save me
My ears too filled with beautiful lies
They've blended with my own screams
There is no mercy for those who love unconditionally
Devotion is repaid with misery
Why must I suffer so?
I will never let go
That is my curse and my salvation
I will keep crawling along the jagged fragments of what I've lost
Though I bleed forever I'll never stop
Once I needed others to banish my fears
Now only myself, falling deeper into insanity
I cannot trust anyone
They always betray me, forsake me, forget me
No more am I a slave to loneliness
I have my own reality
In my silent slumber
What I lost cannot disturb me
Dreams are my sanctuary
To my kingdom where love never dies I can go
Walk across clouds of gold with the one I loved
There I am never alone
Never scared, never tired of this life, never unwanted
In my kingdoms of dreams I can live
Still even there I am haunted
By the stubborn thudding
Of a broken heart refusing to mend
When I awake
I am in my dark room once again
Reality crashes on me with my fears as the weights
Will I ever break free of living a lie?
I smile at the shadows
We can't see eachother
Like mirrors we see ourselves
So we put on our smiles, our optimism
Pretend the pain isn't there
So we may live like we're dreaming
Our realities could someday be lived awake
We go on living like slaves
Even though we all know
We are in dark rooms with clear walls
We all suffer uniquely but we all have one thing in common
Emotions, the essence of life, personality, destiny
Now in my dark room realization brings the dawn
I can see again my path
My eyes can see the sun for the first time
I raise them to the sky
Now I can let my spirit fly
Unburdened by reality, free from the dark room
If only this fantasy
Wasn't just a dream to the rhythym of a broken heart
