Blinded Eyes
Blinded Eyes
In the absence of my slumber
My cries they turn to silence
This absence of warmth is a noose around my hope
I feel the night take hold as the pale moon light glows
Has my wake just been my slumber all along?
As the deathly shadows loom
In the pale moonlight around me
I can feel their contempt as they dance upon the walls
Whispering to me their lies
Staring with those lifeless eyes
These convictions of the past keep haunting me
Alone I awake as silence leads to voiceless screams
My desires sing their tales of lies
I'm bleeding for her warmth
I'm holding on to hopeless dreams
Now I am lost within these blinded eyes
I’ve become lost deep
Searching for an end where I can open up these eyes
These dreams they just won’t die
Silenced are my cries as hope suffocates tonight
I’ve become so lost... Blinded by my desires
Seeing only the past... Hoping for things to be like they were
But her death is absolute
And it’s this realization tonight that is suffocating hope
Desiring her next to me though I know it can’t be
I breathe hope like water
Without her next to me, dreams are all I see
These desires blinding me
My desires are telling me only lies
For I am lost within these blinded eyes
