Aftermath
When the nightmare ends When the trembles end When the eyes settle All I see is grey
As the night hangs over me As the stars melt away Into the water below the bridge My wishes drip, until not one stays
The illusion holds me closer Than any of my dreams The comfort of a shadow Is my elegant mistress
Whom stands before me And serves an empty heart Whose shell yearns for morning But her nostalgic smile flows through me as the night
And her cold touch Feels warm upon my skin I embrace the caress Because the tears hold me from the lost dreams below
While she rests her hand on me I wear my heart on my sleeve As her love is an empty one Yet tastes so sweet
Perhaps tomorrow I'll wake to the love of life But the dieing heart of the innocent Reminds me that it's unlikely
Because the glimmer of the moonlight Upon the frozen river below For which my mistress needn't let me fall Reminds me of the times I died
So tonight We will embrace each other To remind myself that the stars may not be reached By my or her hand alone
