Abandon

There's no smoke without fire
But all I see is ash
Awaken to silence
And paralysing repetitions
I've let you down
And not for the first time

Light my path and I'll burn it all down
Once and for all
I see you speak but I can't hear a word

Sleep can't come soon enough
But it never does
A colourless view
Just one step too slow behind
I've let you down
As I always will

Light my path and I'll burn it all down
Once and for all
I see you speak but I can't hear a word
I just hear the steps that you walk

And when the wind blows
We're all lost
We're dust
And scattered across the earth

There is a void
Consuming me alive
Pulling me in
Crushing my will to survive
There is a voice
Inside me
A thousand whispers guiding
Telling me to leave

We are the suns and moon
And every grain of sand is in my palm
And every star is in my mind
When I leave I'll leave nothing behind
