Final Dawn
Looking out my bedroom window
off into the setting sun
wishing on tears to stop flowing
and to you that I could run
I stare aimlessly at the falling star-shine
where once held our hopes and dreams
now I am almost blinded
from her ever piercing beams
I always feared growing old and dying alone
but that concern is long forgot
I have already died a thousand deaths
so come give me one last shot
It's well past the stroke of midnight
but I'm afraid to close my eyes
there's nothing left to hold on to
for all my dreams have died
The end is rapidly approaching
the chance for redemption has come and gone
I'll be searching for no tomorrows
as I await the final dawn
