Elysian Woes

What is left when the morning comes

Is the memory of a future

And when my plight is done

There is nothing left to hold onto

There were friends waiting at my door

They are gone now, for the year is new

I stuck by my word

And when the rains came

Made it true and pure, to dissolve the hurt

Are we nursing destruction?

Pursuing a dream we once had

Was it our intention

to follow this road 'til the end

Even if the end is a world of sorrow?

There is a bond between us

Even if it's frayed it is unbreakable

So I come for you always

And I welcome pain

For a second of belonging somewhere

There were times when I lost my way

With hope pouring from my soul

In a shelter from the sun

I don't want to bare my scars for you
