Eyes Wide Shut

When the night dies
The day arise 
My heart cries 
For it is bound to die 
I wish upon a star 
The star I wish upon is a shooting star
Bound to burn out 
As you come along
Never take it lightly 
Take it for you to rise 

You dream of love
You dream of hope 
I envy your hope of sorrow 
Shake my tears
And my laughter 
Cause in your heart 
My love don't matter
I cry a thousand tears
I cry each night 
Why don't you see
Your blindness deafens my heart 
Still you don't shed a tear

Stay a while 
And look at me
If you just see
I'm not dying 
I'm not missing 
I'm not here 
I'm already gone 
Numb 
I am dead 
I am dead
