Unhappy Endings
Alone standing in a crowd
Screaming without being heard
Fighting for the strength to breath
Time is just an empty promise
Memories echo through forgotten rooms
An empty house that no one remembers was even there
Iron fences locking the ghosts in
It’s time for me to go home
The sky opens to spill the tears of angels
The earth groans at the searing light from heaven
Illuminate my way, even if it’s only a second
How did it ever come to this?
Drowning in a sea of thoughts
Life is all just one unanswered question
People walk into hazy memories
Its time for me to leave
To many dreams have no meaning
To much time to spare
To much hopeless wandering
To many unhappy endings
