But remember... It's weakness in your eyes... Cry
Looking into deep space
Watching the kingdom falling.
Slipping into nothing.
Still Clinging on.

I listen in the darkness,
Wondering if you hear me
Wondering what you see
When I'm here.


Drown.
As the coolness crushes you.
Fall.
On your shattered wings.
Cry.
But remember
it's weakness in your eyes.
The tears.
Cry...

Beating back the silence,
Bruised and just waiting,
Praying for something
to numb the pain.

We'd talk about our big plans,
How we'd fight against it.
How we'd go flying...
How we'd soar.


Drown.
As the coolness crushes you.
Fall.
On your shattered wings.
Cry.
But remember
it's weakness in your eyes.
The tears...
Cry...


You ask me to trust.
You tell me to love.
Expect me to fly.
When you don't know what I've lost.

You dont see the tears
behind the smile.
You dont want to know.
What you don't understand.
You dont like what you find.
Nobody can.

Drown.
Because your wings can't carry you.
Fall.
Because the dark conquers.
Cry.
Because it's all you can do.
Remember the tears?
The fear?
Weakness in your eyes.
