Ebony Tears

A Handful Of Nothing

Ebony Tears


With closed eyes I greet the fallen 
Joy denied autums calling 
Withering beauty scornful madness 
My redemption 
A sanctuary from a year of failures 
A home for the broken 

Time to rest my weary bones 
To ease my heart I drop the stone 
In solitude I feel no pain 
And for a moment I am sane 

Organized from the chaos 
All intact I face the rain 
Wasted beauty owned by liars 
True deception 
Count me in as one of the cowards 
I'm no exception 

Time to rest my weary bones 
To ease my heart I drop the stone 
In solitude I feel no pain 
And for a moment I am sane 

With a handful of nothing 
And scars in my soul 
With a handful of nothing 
I walk through the door 
Into sanctuary
