Found it lonely, just like I feared

Tired of trying,
In love with your lies,
A mind-made paradise,

Goodbye BabyI once had a heart of gold,
Now it is black and cold,

A memory stuck in my mind,

Even my dreams are honoured by your presence

A beauty no spoken words can describe

The words you didn't meanYou spoke the fears I had confined
Caged up in the back of my mind
I told myself they were not true
But now they're back, because of you
Once diminished, doubt was gone
Your affirmations brought out dawn

Sunset of RealityWhat is the feeling of being alone?

Without anyone but a stone
With your name engraved on it
Death is like a torture
With no hesitation
There is uncertainty
If it's all just cessation
It's hard to return
Especially in...
