A silent prayer for the haunted

Daylight four days you're gone still chasing sleep
Black specters born from dark shadows in my mind

One step to the edge
I'm taking
The remnants of who I used to be
My still blackened skies
You've got to burn your eyes to see

Unguarded thoughts betray a frail mind
So what if I lost all compassion?
(Just like you) Would you make me a martyr?
I'm not afraid to die
Shut me up with some new damage

One step to the edge
I'm taking
The remnants of who I used to be
My still blackened skies
You've got to burn your eyes to see

Flowers for an empty grave
To your knees to brush away
An epitaph you just can't say
Between the leaves reads your name

The tide has washed you back to me
Into my arms lay you down to sleep

Call it love or just revenge
A fitting end for us, my friend
Time for mending came and went

I tore you from my heart
So just walk away
I tried to open your eyes
Your soul was shackled since the point of inception
There is no grace
So just fall away
The hourglass spans the length of a life time

One step to the edge
I'm taking
The remnants of who I used to be
My still blackened skies
You've got to burn your eyes to see

One step to the edge
I'm taking
The remnants of who I used to be
My still blackened skies
You've got to burn your eyes to see?
