Eve Dawn Breaking
The dawn is breaking
The eve is dawning
Escaping dark this evening
Now truth; dark is sleeping
Truth is key is leaving
Key to my heart, buried in his weavings
Weave dark does, crafting his lies
Light lies in discovering my oldest allies
But the weight I carry cannot be lightened
Waiting on nightfall, my senses are heightened
To make it out alive and whole
Or wholly separate body and soul
This place is poison, slowly killing
Escape or not, new places come chilling
Chilling thoughts come of my new destination
Heaven thought I, for there's no sin in preservation
Sin in the staying, curling tightly within
Within me hides coward, afraid of the dark
Deeper than deep down, it's dark in my heart.
