Lightless Days of a Songless Bird

Callous, relentlessly sharp

Devoid of remorse, it's drowning out my song

Obscuring the sun, my melody wanes inside the surge

Replaced with frigid volleys of apathetic hail

My notes struck from the record, forever carried off by silver gales

And in the end, the wings of a songless bird will be denied the sky

You've lost the words to speak, your only chance has passed you by

And as the sun withdraws forever, the moon becomes the guide

Enchained by hidden tethers, by chance or by design

Vines are slowly twisting, and creeping towards the heart

They siphon all desires and shred our hopes apart

And any recollections held so dear with promised light

Dissolve before my eyes, absorbed with no remorse this dreamless night

A searing flash delivers shattering reform

Brings agony untold, the fire of a thousand solar storms

Why can't I remember

When I lost it all

Why can't I remember

How I lost it all

Callous to welcome the fall

Devoid of all color, my world now monochrome

No trace of the sun, no melody left to bring me home

Replaced with boundless silence, and knowledge of the end

A song now long-forgotten, I miss you most of all my dearest friend

And in the end, the wings of a songless bird, will be denied the sky

You've lost the words to speak, your only chance has passed you by

And as the sun withdraws forever, the moon becomes the guide

Eroded chains lie severed, by chance or by design
