Dawn on the First Day

Dawn's tired eyes make shadows the days first casualty

as you lose my eyes again

you fell too short,

everything has changed

everything has changed

my trust fades

I cannot see the sun

first light never to be seen again

as I come to terms with another death of a close past

the final straw of a drawn out hate, well I unfold

first light never to be seen again

first light never to be seen again and I just don’t care

half light arcs across the pavement, leaving it dull

the highest clouds on the edge of space converge,

I’ll do this on my own

why should I be grateful?

for a broken love and a broken respect

when it tears me down

I’ll get back up and I’ll stand my ground

my trust fades, I cannot see the sun

first light never to be seen again

why should I be grateful for a broken love and a broken respect?

the final straw of a drawn out hate

well, I need it back once more

a shadowed face

shadowed face

how should I have done this on my own?
