But All The Same

You do but see the world in darkness
You do but feel it another way
I am but lost in dawning silence
I am but broken by the very day

You sink into the night
Covering day with a veil so dim
Diving deeper into twilight
I see your eyes
All dark with desire and lifelust
I dwell within every your deed

Tell me no tale of your fate
I know that sad truth
Let me ease your pain till it’s not late
Let me take it from you

You are the darkness
Devouring night
You are the silence
Whisper of firelight

I am your shadow
Your lonely spirit, dwelling by your side
Into the voids I will follow
Just to share this fear you tried to hide

One path to thread
One fate to share
You and me so different, but all the same
