Sleepless Nights and City Lights

While you've been dreaming of the dead and lost

I have been awake kissing these clock faces

The fear of sleep has left me tired and worn

But in her dreams is where I will haunt her

I've seen the shadows of this burning angel

These city lights will never be as beautiful as your eyes

I'll pick up the pieces when you've failed and fallen to the ground

Let my words set and fall upon your unwilling ears

It will be okay

I took to the sky, did you mourn for me?

Well, who needs flowers when they're dead and buried

For now, my whisper is my dearest friend

But even I know this won't last forever

I've seen the shadows of this burning angel

These city lights will never be as beautiful as your eyes

I'll pick up the pieces when you've failed and fallen to the ground

Let my words set and fall upon your unwilling ears

It will be okay

Smile when you think of me, the pain will go in time

I may be alone with fear in my mind

I leave these words in hope that that we'll meet again

Again. Now? I know this won't last forever
