Of Shattered Dreams

Available on Harness

Lyrics

You rip and shatter all my dreams,
You take all hope from me,
You leave me wandering alone,
Wandering alone.

Of sunken dreams I've known a few,
They've tormented my life,
They've caused me more hardship and pain,
They've cut me like a knife.

But when you show the world to me,
The sights I've never seen,
The life that almost swallowed me,
It makes me think again.

The sky is filled with darker clouds,
They menace from afar,
The silver linings are not seen,
Darkness abounds.

I try to smile throughout the day,
To bring myself to cheer,
To paste on happiness and joy,
To pass through all my fear.

The dimness that I see engulfs,
The ruins of my plans,
A wasteland of the almost done,
Ruin and decay.

Brighter days they seem so far,
Illusions of the mind,
Their promise mocks me 'til I cry,
Hopes dashed to the mud.

The facades of bright hope surround,
Are masks I can't see through,
Of groups that seem forever joy,
But little impacts me.

Alone again I feel despair,
A cloud that never leaves,
Pervading all that I can see,
Darkening the night.

Today was lost to sorrow sound,
A time with little hope,
My bed draws near to end the day,
To curtain me, encloak,
To curtain me, encloak.
