Night

The night engulfs you in my embrace
Distant murmurs and faint sounds with no face
Oh statuesque vanquisher
Queen of the essence of the towns
As I imagined, and here you are

Everything's a shadow, there are no lies
Time stands still and yet it dies
Appearances are forsaken
All of those words unspoken
The lovers get lost in their love

Alone, and just a breath away
Close to me, yet I can't lead you astray
My intimate stranger
To find oneself is to break away
But does it matter anyway?

As dawn lights up another day
Visions I once had fade away
All of those words unspoken
My wildest dreams all broken
It wasn't supposed to be that way

Should I leave why should I stay?
All alone, and just a breath away
Leaving behind me yesterday
So close to me, yet I can't lead you astray
Am I free or forsaken
My intimate stranger

Cheated or awakened
Should I be, should I break away?
Does it matter anyway?
