Corpus Delicti - Appealing Skies Lyrics

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
