Lyric

I’m even hesitant to fall asleep

With a heartbeat I can no longer keep

The sound of the second hand rings so clear

Poems flow and vanish, filled with fear

I wrote them down so I wouldn't forget they were here

Before I knew it, I was swallowed by sleep

Memories sinking, quiet and deep

Down to the bottom, where shadows lie

Even covering you from my mind's eye

Now, I just try not to let it fade

After a single blink, in the shade

Scooping it up with both my hands

But the feelings crumble like shifting sands

I held them close, as the world demands

In the middle of a fading day

As if it were a dream, tucked away

At the corner of my blurred vision, so far

It flickers unclearly, like a dying star

The melancholy I left behind back then

In the darkness, behind my eyelids again

A lingering anxiety, a restless trace

Projecting the shadow of your face

Even now, I just try to pull them near

The happy but painful memories I hold dear

I’m sure the "me" from that distant day

Was never satisfied in any way

Asking for too much, I went astray

Just a little more, just a little bit more

I’m about to break free from the shore

From the promise that binds me to the floor

The voice I was dependent on for so long

I cover my ears, where it doesn't belong

I don't need to hear it anymore, I’m free

I cut off the words that were haunting me

And so, without looking at your face

I turned my back on that empty space

In the darkness where everyone had gone

I smiled quietly, waiting for no dawn
