Locked Door

I come to the locked door
Over and over
I’ve tried to look through to see the core
But never could reach closer
All the nights are buried in a weep for the past
Is this the point that should never more last?

I come over again to the doorstep
Tired and lonesome
Where I’m never needed, never awaited

Hours turn into days
Pouring down with cold autumn rain
Golden moments ever covered with ashes
Now dwell on the blank page

Over and over again
I come to the shore where stars shone bright once
Where we were together
Heart was filled with joy
Eyes sparkled with another coil
With another glow of starlight

The road goes down
And there is no other way out
What is left here for us now?

How have we come to this?
How do we live?
If there is no path for us both to be
To breathe as one
How should we go on?

Without you I’m falling
Wingless and broken
Alone I’m suffocating
Giving up it all
Against the whole world
Only for you I live and breathe
Forever yours to be

Crawling in the shadow
For a heart cold and hollow
I give it all to see once more
Without you I’m lonesome
For you I risk it all
Giving up the whole world
I sing through the years
To forget all the fears

You hold my hand I sink in perishing waves
Of lost golden days once more
I see through your eyes all the ages
Forgetting forever it all
