Solemn Misery

Like the lightning stroke
I feel it trembling within
This power, like endless shock
Devouring me with all I need

Hold me, keep me near
So I won’t ever disappear
With every withered tear

I dream every night of moving closer
Seeking home every dream before I awaken
And feel completely broken

Like losing faith in a whirl of life
Every day is but another chance
I long for every spark of light
To touch that lost heart once

Dwelling in solemn misery
I feel like withering
Everywhere I go I play the same old song
Facing my own soul is reborn

Completely faded from the past
Every day now turned to dust
They won’t ever see darkness of their hearts

Through their millions of faces
I cannot escape and find any traces
I cry and run, run and cry
Trying to understand why

Can’t you see I’m falling down
Without any why and how
Lost within this fleeting time
I long for one only night

I’ve lost myself, can’t you see?
My dream dwells far away from me
I caress it dear so deep within
