Awaken Night

Skyscraper


Laying alone - and in my heart the fright
Counting the hours - before the morning light

But it's in vain - the only friend I got is pain
My soul is hidden in the shadows of my name

One minute over - I feel much older now
Rescue me faster - before the light of dawn

And blow away - blow out the ghost that made me stay
Blow out the dust that's hidden in me for all these years

And at night when the whispers are louder
And the silence is all but a still
Inner sirens are topping my dawning I wish
I was dreaming this awaken night

My eyes wide open - I'm on the ship of fools
I'll share the colors - of my devoted blues

'Cause through the night - I'm an eternal black and white
Watching the silent nightime rainbow passing by

And at night when the whispers are louder
And the silence is all but a still
Inner sirens are topping my dawning I wish
I was dreaming this awaken night

Dusk and denial blend in a lullaby
Taste the regrets lurking behind a sigh
So dim's the light
So cold is the morning bound to thrive
When to the stillness drowning me I resign
Throughout the night

'Cause through the night - I'm an eternal black and white
Watching the silent nightime rainbow passing by

And at night when the whispers are louder
And the silence is all but a still
Inner sirens are topping my dawning I wish
I was dreaming this awaken night
