Darling, I'm feeling so alone,

In a world turned to dust all but monochrome

In silence I keep kindly, yet I'm violently blind

I won't waste another moment I must find

Violet… Ultraviolet…

So many times I replay what's in my head

I know some of it might already be dead

Dead like the rain falling out of the sky

Dead like a winter rose destined to die

Dead like my name, carved deep in cold stone

Dead like all I've known, far away, so alone

I can't move on, though I'm reaching for the sun

My mind's wrapped around echoes of what I've done

You tie me to your finger like a stone in a chain

I pour out my heart and it's never enough to explain

They drag me down, drag me out, beyond these scenes

I'm haunted all day by a pile of old dreams

Nothing rings true to me, not even a sound

I could scream to the heavens but I'd still hit the ground

I could sing to the masses just to feel complete

But sometimes I stay silent so I won't compete

In the quiet I find another way to come home

Another way to cherish all that I've known

Though I keep every memory, it's stained with regret

And I know I still haven't kept you yet
