a wilting rose the dying day my darkest hour thunder and rain a candle glows lighting my way lament and mourn cry out in vain (X2) red by night, black by day a bleeding heart, a child at play a spiders web, the gilded cage in shady gloom, the silent rage when I am lonely and I keep the world at bay with you only I can wish it all away and when I am broken dont put me on a shelf or cast adrift please dont leave me by myself am I asleep, is this a dream? or is it real, just as it seems I cannot believe, how can it be? when I dont bleed, when I cant scream scarce are made a garden gray reeds and stalks stone and clay the winter wind whispers my name then echoing cries out in vain (X2) seasons of mist, the morning dew the midnight storm and thoughts of you the barren fields, thickets and thorn bristles my skin, bruises my soul when I am lonely and I keep the world at bay with you only I can wish it all away and when I am broken dont put me on a shelf or cast adrift please dont leave me by myself am I asleep, is this a dream? or is it real, just as it seems I cannot believe, how can it be? when I dont bleed, when I cant scream
