Behind those eyes

here the moon lies

anxiously

Awaiting the tears

through which the stars pour

all over this place

Her name I whisper out

crying awake, yet,

am I dreaming?

She haunts me well

this fading night

Washing us all away

leaving no one to pay for what we’ve done

        Our visions have blurred

        Everything’s just the way it never should be

        Disappearing soon we will all fade

        with this light

        Catching one last glimpse

        of all we missed tonight

How soon do we forget

Why quickly do we

try to throw this world above us

Screaming through the voices

of the ones we’ve left alive

“What’s done is done

Oh, please God, change our past”

Soon our time

will be like one more star

We’ll come seeping through the moon

as the rain begins to fall

Tomorrow we may find out

that life was all a game

One more chance

we’ll cry

One more day

        Our visions have blurred

        Everything’s just the way it never should be

        Disappearing soon we will all fade

        with this light

        Catching one last glimpse

        of all we missed tonight
