Soft shades of lilac and blue
Painted dreamscapes rushing to the west
Closing time at workday's end
Making the best of what is left
Paths we have taken at the crossroads
Choices we have made in our mind
Cherishing in cuts and broken bones
Anything to feel barely alive
Open our future let the light shine in
Ignoring good advice and screams in our ears
Dampen the agony and bruise our skin
Knowing no one can hear
Yet another bruise on my soul
More splinters that refuse to come out
Tormented by the fear
That I will have to watch you disappear
Meeting the blow with adrenaline rush
Cream colored patches soak up the blood
Mute our thinking to a distant hush
Longing for a softening thud
Yet another bruise on my soul
More splinters that refuse to come out
Barely visible to others in my world
But makes my entire insides shout
Was it really a mistake to let myself care?
Staring at an empty sky
Pushing the scent of you from my hands
Knowing no one is near any longer who can hear
