Pale Shadows

When I fall asleep you have to go
Leave me alone

Don’t look at me
Never turn back to see
What left behind as you leave

A dream I was for you
But never true
Forget any path to the heart you’ve once deceived
I’m not the one for you to be

Lost deep in thoughts
I never saw that memory before

Beyond the door to that nightmare I fall
Searching for the door
I’ve never been able to open
The one forever lost
The one forever closed

The ever memory I’ve burnt last night
Now is but dark ashes of the past
Pale shadows turned into withering dust
