Falling Awake

Falling Awake

I've been falling awake
finally feeling
the things I avoided to accept
you told me it's not long now
before you go away
and the seconds sting like a thousand bees
the tears like waves
on a stormy sea
take a piece of me.....

Now will it be for long
before I am the only one
the vision of the white knight
has been long since dethroned
we wear the same skin
all too human
and so I've been falling awake....
With pages ripped from the book
is it all now just gutted and empty?
Cuz...

I've been falling awake
finally feeling
the things I avoided to accept
you told me it's not long now
before you go away
and the seconds sting like a thousand bees
the tears like waves
on a stormy sea
take a piece of me.....

Buried beneath the flowers
in dirt that ashes richly keep
I guess it was always inevitable
you are the first to sleep
so many years between us
yet so close our minds were entwined
never a stronger soul I knew better
than the one I had to leave behind
and so.....

I've been falling awake
finally feeling
the things I avoided to accept
you told me it's not long now
before you go away
and the seconds sting like a thousand bees
the tears like waves
on a stormy sea
take a piece of me.....
