When I Wake

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
