Damascus

Dear old friend this is the end
This road begins and ends with death
And I can't wait here anymore
As I'm called to justify defeat
My heart is breaking here on my knees
And every word falls silently
Ignored

When in the stillness of the night I screamed your name
No shining light no not a word you never came
So I have come to lay these flowers at your grave
And move on in my name

Through these years I've lost control
Traded my life for nothing more
Than fevered dreams of shame and doubt
While I lay screaming bleeding please if you're alive you're still dead to me
And I know I'm all alone
So I will leave
