The Ending of the World

The silence between us Has drowned out the song of what we were Before the day That burned a hole into your heart. Your voice in the distance Is fading, I follow as the rain Rubs out your footprints And we grow further apart. The life that we'd chosen, Was real, was no illusion It's the eye That's really broken, Not the picture that it sees. And one day the truth will Yet find you, and you will realise That you were running The wrong way to set you free. Though we may have fallen Heartbroken, I will not breathe a word This fight is over I have no voice left to be heard. Sun breaks the horizon The mist clears My last white flag unfurls A trace of calm Before the ending of the world
