When the Dawn Meets the End
Tell me where have you been.
It was quiet and cold,
I was alone,
Searching.
So I guess,
If it means anything to you,
You can say something,
Or nothing at all.
You will leave me to fend for myself.
I remember a time when I,
Didn't have to fight for you,
Everything was easy,
There was no reason to cry over you.
I never had to struggle,
Break into your castle,
The bricks make you shiver,
The foundation and the towers.
Now I run,
Into an empty calm,
Where there is no calm at all.
Nothing is easier under the gun.
Tell me where have you been.
Where are you now?
I cannot prosper in this misery,
It takes a hold of me.
Take me under,
Bury me under all of the flowers,
Every morning you can look out of the windows,
And there will be a beautiful smile.
When the dawn meets the end,
Enough said,
I won't get in your way,
Just tell me where have you been.
I was alone,
Searching,
I am still alone,
Grieving.
