The fantasies broke
The dream is gone...

When the nights are black
And the shadows beckon...

Just because she comes off strong
Doesn't mean she didn't fall asleep crying...

Morning has broken
There's no afternoon...

People come and go
A cacophony of murmurs...

I saw her
She came closer and closer...

There's a moment in your life
Where everything becomes clear...

The stretched out time we endure
Is coated in the silence of unspoken words...

It's dark in my mind
And I only want to hide...

I'm an angel but that's not
Always what people see...

She's proud of herself
But she won't tell you why...

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear
Tales of joy ringing off the rooftops...
