The melancholy of dawn
From after my drowsy eyes had blinked
While my head was dropped
A dream I once saw now far away
I find myself alone
I gaze at the emptiness that once existed there
No longer can I put it back together
Through the maze in the back of my heart
Where no one can see
I try not to wake up what I have kept under
So I pretend to be someone else
While hiding myself from others
Unable to keep up the act
In this neverending masquerade
I reach out for closeness
In companionships as helpless as smoke exhaled
Today again I want someone to love
Even though I don't notice
The solitude that's right next to me
I cover up my lies just to obtain love
And I lie even more so I can accept love
Fleeting kindness only tickles these ears
And cannot fill this ruptured heart
Frightened in a spider-spun web of a world
No one to scoop me out of here
I sink from the street corners
Into the warm and irregular shadows
