The Dawn's End, by Dark Neko Subscribe to rss feed for <b>Dark Neko</b>

Every Day I'd wake up in tears
And watch the dawn come
Carrying all my fears
I fear that I'd lose someone today
I fear there's no one to show me the way
I fear life
I fear death
I fear the earth
It's last struggling breath
Though I try
To ignore this pain
Though I try
To stay calm and sane
Darkness continues to creep into my heart
Overtaking my soul
Destroying my heart
I try to be strong
I always say it's alright
Awake I struggle
But true peace comes at night
When my eyelids flutter
And then close tight
Words of prayer I utter
Before saying good night
In sleep I find peace
In my dreams I see light
In this new world unbothered
My heart is all right
Here there is nothing
That I can fear
No one to hurt me
No words to hear
In sleep I know
My words can hurt no one
Sensitive or bold
In my dreams I escape
To places far away
Places reality has never heard of
I dream about every day
Beautiful places so peaceful and bright
Places of nature
And sheer delight
But as dawn comes again I feel my heart disappear
Jumping out of my chest
And running in fear
Again the tears they come and fall
I hug my blanket tighter
And huddle up against the wall
Oh if only the wonderful sleep could last
If only my heart could forget the past
If only my fears would go away
So I can live happily every day
Ah, but this is the terrible truth of life
Sharp and painful like the blade of a knife
Only true peace comes in an end
But it carries a message too hard to send
Goodbye dear family
I'll miss you my friends
May you remember me always
For memories never end
I don't mean to hurt you
Or cause you to grieve
But I can't take this life
I just want to leave
I only find happiness in my sleep
I just want to be at peace
Please do not weep
This is the only way
For me to find
Eternal sleep
And peace of mind
No longer will I wake in fear
Finally the dawn brings no tears
I just wish to go away
And maybe I will see a new day
For now loved ones
Don't be alarmed
I seek freedom from darkness
A soul unharmed
I hope to meet you again one day
But for now I must go away
I love you all
I'll miss you too
With all my heart I truly do
I guess I've said all I can say
Please understand it's the only way
Grieve not for me
I'll be alright
An endless sleep
And a peaceful goodnight
