Time will not heal this fractured ending
A broken vow is all I have kept
Regrets will remain in the empty space I've hollowed out for myself
And when I dream, it takes me away from all of this emptiness
And when I wake, I know that I'll never escape it
Lost to the nightmares, I have become a ghost of my former self
So tormented hours drag on as the days mirror my discontent
With every breath, I wither away; just echoes of who I once was
These moments are slowly wilting, but it feels like ages have passed
And when I dream, it takes me away from all of this emptiness
And when I wake, I know that I'll never escape it
My thoughts, pressured by the weight of remorse
For in this silence such distance has grown
And if forgiveness can never be found
This grieving heart will forever be torn
Between leaving and longing to stay
Waking and dreaming and wasting the days
Caught in the dissonance and the decay
And constantly searching for ways to escape
And when I dream, it takes me away from all of this emptiness
And when I wake, I know that I'll never escape
For within this chained heart, all hope is lost
Still, love remains in the endless shades of grey
