lyrics

He sits alone
Blocking the sun
Trapped within himself
Prisoner of one
Laughter brings him no joy
His shadow cast can only destroy
Solace in sorrow
He’ll cut you down
The forgotten child will never be found

Lost
Dreams
Echo silently
She pleads for the key
In the other side of me

Disillusioned with discipline
He drags the world behind him
Leaving a trail of mistakes in the wake
She pounds the glass but
It just leaves her bloodied and red
Hearing his voice like a hymn from the dead
And it says
Swallow your secrets
Don’t say a word
Keep your mouth shut before someone gets hurt

Lost
Dreams
Echo silently
She pleads for the other side of me
But if I could

Stop this destruction
And follow my heart
I’d bring you the moon
And I’d give you the stars
But eternal darkness will blacken the sun
And I’ll still be here as a prisoner of one

Cuz he lives in the spaces
Between breaths I take
And he looms in the doubt around
Each choice I make
There’s comfort in pain when it’s all that you see
So I live in a world of my own misery
When I reached for your hand
It was all too late
He’d pushed you away
When I wanted you to stay
He’s filled in the cracks
Where I watched for the sun
So I’ll still be here
As a prisoner of one
