Husk

Your cause was bound to be monumental
With the voyage at an end
The storm has cleared
Your demons are no more.
I keep telling myself
Everything will be alright for me.

As the final revelation was revealed
Something shattered within
I had been driven so long
By a single notion
But there really was no truth to be found
This was our solitary creation.

I was burdened by a sight for pale eyes
Bound by an ineloquent certainty
Of things greater than my own
Taken out of breath by the things
By the things I have seen
Lost the faith in all I had
Thus was the need to weave a dream born
But if I could have another go
I wouldn't change a thing.

The truth was so much more unsettling
Than your eyes, as you cried
Ran from your most darkened clouds
To keep you away from my own
I lost all I never had
No, the rain won't stop here
Just keep walking home.

What I witnessed in those eyes was sheer terror
As I watched the sky and the moon turn into one
Vivid images of a life that never came to be
A single notion that there would be more to life than this
Than this loveless husk
A shell waiting to be filled up with hopes and dreams.

Don't make me walk this path alone
I couldn't stand to bear the sight by my own
Don't make me walk this path alone
Don't make me walk this path alone
My world is burning
I'll fly away, in lies.
