Dead In the Past

Everything shines in my hands The warmest touch glows with demand I wanted you, I needed your touch But embers burn, and it’s all just too much Drifting sails departing my world Unbearable, but there’s no return The slowest loss caught in my dreams Departing love to wake into screams The lonely dead writhing through life He hurts in love and never decides He wanted you, he needed you The fires start, you will suffer too The spiral sings of fates that have past The pain comes home and burns him at last The sails of love frozen in death His melting dreams awake his regret Falling through the end of the world To let it go and never be scared Everything comes back at last The truth of why I am reliving the past
