Appealing Skies - Corpus Delicti

The older fear, I talk to myself

These empty words of hope

A million days make years of sadness

I wish I could hope…

My loneliness’s only in my head

I’ve nowhere else to sway

My dream of beauty stands in my bed

I wish I could say

Before I’d sleep, I’ll reach my sweetness

The one, I cannot share

The fiendish night’s the only witness

I wish I could stay… awake 'till dawn sets on

It shines like stars, this dust of Eve

Is ordering me to hide my failures

'Cause when I’m fading though appealing skies

I’m not calling you

And now I’ll keep on smiling

Before the night is ending

And now I’ll keep on dreaming

After the night has ended

We’re all alone sitting in the room

Playing with my hands

I know my solitude will end soon

If only I can…

The ghost of you lies on my pillow

The monsters in my brain

Reveal themselves between the shadows

Of satanic friends…

The oldest fear I talk myself

These empty words of hate

A million days make years of sadness

I wish I could stay… awake 'till daws sets on

It shines like stars, this dust of Eve

Is ordering me to hide my failures

'Cause when I’m fading though appealing skies

I’m not calling you

And now I’ll keep on smiling

Before the night is ending

And now I’ll keep on dreaming

After the night has ended

I’m on my knees

I’m praying for time to hang on

And when the moment comes

I swear I’ll fade in your skies
