Last Sunrise

They play with my dreams Laughing at the bursting seams As everything falls apart Painting with the blood from my heart Covering walls with my feelings As I lay there dying and reeling They said open your heart to be free Holding in the twisted smile I now see There is no basement for how low They will inevitably like to go So draw back all of the curtains Because misery is served for certain And as my thoughts are bickering The lights above are flickering At least let me see the sunrise Before my final demise A lifetime of mistakes and aches I couldn't quite find the brakes So as my spirit finally breaks Surrounded by callous fakes I'm not the only one crying As I'm laying here dying But their crocodile tears Are slanted by sensational sneers They play with my dreams Laughing at the bursting seams As everything falls apart Painting with the blood from my heart It's so ironic to finally find fame When the credits roll on this sad game Because I have been defeated and deleted My soul depleted and good intentions cheated But my echoing cries Are greeted by one last sunrise

This is melancholy and quite beautiful even if sad! I found the last sunrise at the end symbolic of light at the end of the dark tunnel! Did you mean it that way?
