Looking back over it all
I can see the downfall
The fall of myself.
Looking back
Over my shoulder
I can see it all.
Looking
And she's back
Before I ask for it.
And with the fires of hate
I burn her back out.
And yet the memories
Are still fresh in my mind
The pain still burning
Forever in my heart.
And she speaks to me again
Only in my cursed dreams
And she holds me again
Only in my own mind
And she leaves me again
Every time I close my eyes.
And she's there for me
When I lay down to sleep
And she leaves.
And she's gone.
And I fall now.
And I fall more and more
And who's there to catch me
Only those tangled webs I wove
And their grabbing hands tore
And their sharpened teeth bit
And their blind eyes did see.
The fires embrace me
The air flees me
The water denies me
And the earth welcomes me
With the arms of clay.
And the light fades
After I found it in her eyes.
And the warmth recedes
After I found it in her arms.
And the sleep evades
After she left me that night.
And with these closing words
I know not what to think
And with these closing eyes
I know I will never see
And now this beating heart
I wonder will it heal?
