Where Dreams Become Nightmares

I filled my mind with nonsense

The day you went away

I watched the moments tick past

The way they’ve always done

I slept inside the silence

I hid my head in shame

I watched you walk away

With only myself to blame

 

You cradle my hands

You speak your words to me

And in our past ,

I thought we’d last

Beyond the coldness of this rain

 

Somewhere

A heart beats with mine

We set the pace

We settled the score

 

Can you look inside and try to find it

Can I pick myself up off the our bedroom floor

Will the words that come to me be what saves us

Will I forever hold my peace?…

 

 

I filled my mind with nonsense

The day you went away

I watched the moments pick me apart

The way they’ve always done

I slept inside the silence

I hide my head in shame

I watched you walk away

With only myself to blame

 

Can we ever be?

Will we ever see?

Will we be whole again?

 

I sit inside this scenario where dreams become nightmares

Wondering what I could do

I know of all the promises

I couldn’t keep

That you couldn’t use

Pulling myself from the floor

To open your door

To see you

To see

That regardless of irritation

And regardless of my indiscretions

You‘re still here with me…

You’re still here

 

I filled my mind with nonsense

The day you went away

I watched the moments tick past

The way they’ve always done

I slept inside the silence

I hid my head in shame

I watched you walk away
