As life changes in a singular moment
I struggle to deny
Trying to understand
Numb and breathless, reality hits me bit by bit
This nightmare has become reality
Standing here heartbroken in despair
Nothing will ever be the same again
As the presence that was there to guide me
Is forever gone in an instant
Waking up after uneasy sleep
Suddenly I remember where I am
As this anguish that burdens me
Brings me a glimmer of hope to this nightmare
To this cold hard truth
Lay down your head
Let sleep take you away
Far away to distant memories
To the past free from sorrow
To the dreams of days long gone
Twilight around the corner
In the shadows of my mind
My thoughts are in disarray
Trying to escape
Looking for answers and guidance
As I struggle to realize the truth
The words that you told will guide me
Will always remain in my mind
'Til the end of time
'Til the day I die
Lay down your head
And let sleep take you away
Take you far away to distant memories
To the past free from sorrow
To the dreams of days long gone
Sleep and dreams so frail
Shattered
Aching heart suffocating me
As the sea of sorrow swallows you
Washing your tears away
A moment frozen in time
In this recess of tranquillity
You'll find the strength to believe
To be set free
'Cause together we stand
Together we embrace
This calamity that once swallowed me
Has now strengthened my resolve
No matter if fall, we will rise
Again and again with a stronger will
To never pretend and to never give in
All those times I was left in the dirt
And all the times somebody's been trying to hurt me
Are washed away by tranquillity
Upon knowing that it's not the end
