When I Wake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I wake, something inside me breaks
Holding back the time until I sleep again
Woe to me, I'm forever lost to thee
Woe to thee, you're forever lost to me
Let me sleep forever, fade into the clouds
Sublime emotion blowing in the wind
Human thoughts, like darkness to a flame
Depart not as thy shadow came
Your grave to be, fear, a dark reality
Your sympathy, lost or never meant to be
My fright and the beating of my heart
Close my eyes in silence and take me in your arms
What have you done? Reveal your heart
Your suffocating silence tears me apart
So break this seal where the quiet remains
Where lovers mourn, broken and torn
Only a wakeful silence of mourning shades
Embodied forever into the stream
When you sleep I sow what you reap
But as you cry something inside me dies
When I wake something inside me breaks
In your eyes I watch how something dies
What have you done? Reveal your heart
Your suffocating silence tears me apart
So break this seal where the quiet remains
Where lovers mourn, broken and torn
