How carelessly the bound daylight caresses   Oblivious to wandering eyes extinguished  
Free me reckless with the night   Elusive scenes enkindled burst to fire  
Where splendor casts umbrageous twin   And love sparks radiance  
To guide the heart from within   All in search for you  

Eve of brilliance   Till the morning proves indifference  
For the sparks die   Leaving shadows in my vision  

How dutifully the dull sunlight chastises   Adopted wings that dare arise with promise  
Incandescent I represent   Pandora's uninformed enlightenment  
And fears that creep about my flame   Evanesce until the dawn calls them  
Home again bearing thoughts of you  

And I'm helpless to see   Unbecoming of me   Blindly mythicizing  

Etiolation emphasized by merrythoughts   Once broken by moonlight  
Oh brighter to have never loved   Than gather ghosts of the blinding   Relentless sun idealized in you  

And I can't bear to see   Unbecoming of me   Love is not dead
