The Shape of Dreams to Come

You're the shape of dreams to come

You fill my head when I'm undone

"You mean so much to me"

But when I look in your eyes, that is not what I see

Still, you made your way into my heart

"Lover, you should come over

You can put your trust in me"

Her words lay under covers

But why shouldn't I believe?

I'm exiled, can't you see?

Shamelessly thrown at your feet

So subtle were the signs leading to the end

So sudden was the farewell

My eyes were red until the dawn

And every night I hear the sound

Fire reaching for your head

Things don't go as you'd expect

First subtle as the signs to end an illusion

Then suddenly, a farewell

Do you still dream of going away?

Burn all that makes you stay

"You should come over"

A new layer has covered me

Our hearts, they still beat sour

Oh, rush, and get away from me

Is this an unexpected happy ending? Or is it too late?

Back then, well, I was thinking that I knew your ways

Farewell, all hopes and dreams... (am I to blame?)

I can't turn my back again, but I cannot stay

I swallow a thousand lights of a thousand flames

And there's no time for my regrets, I end this game

The words repeating in my head are as clear as rain

"You cannot hurt me when I'm gone, you won't be the same"

These words still ringing in my head are not that tame

"We cannot kill when we're all dead, we'll die the same"
