In fading distant dreams you will return,
Until you are a whisper,
A ghost in my emotion,
Embrace your world and all it holds,
Keep your minds false sanctuary,
Spread your wings and try to soar.

Cast love aside and look away,
A wake of pain trailing behind,
Follow the blind with open eyes,
Searching for your absolution,
Knowing it doesn't exist,
Self-given atonement, for self-made sins.

Your compassion strangely vacant,
A fade to hide the hate,
Your sincere lies flow easily,
A feigned image of your soul,
Forgotten virtues long since dead,
Your voice haunts my dreams.

Stand back and watch me fall,
Clutch the air where I once stood,
The emptiness - just a reflection,
of your heart.

In fading distant dreams you still return,
Nothing more than a whisper,
A remnant of our love.
Cast love aside and look away,
A wake of pain trailing behind.

Stand back and watch me fall,
Clutch the air where I once stood,
The emptiness - just a reflection,
of your heart.

Stand back and watch me fall,
I spread my wings but I fail to soar,
Stand back and watch me fall,
Better dead than half alive,
Stand back, and watch me fall.
