Precious Things

There's a wish in this night

For redemption and light

And I...

I'm the essence of a sublime desire

It will be done

The preciousness of words

Shatters the blackness around

We are prisoners of our time

We are all broken inside

Precious things are my mind's wealth

My last hope

Dreams lost in a white night

Illusion froze the tide

My longing for redemption

Of my pride

Calling for one more heavenly fire

In a season of lunacy, of humanity

How many times will I remember

my wasted fights?

Always remember falling again

Shadows of my nonsense clenched

my clarity

Nocturnal sorrow waits for me

Will you stay here while despair

takes me?

We are prisoners of our time

We're all broken inside

Precious things are my mind's wealth

My last hope

Dreams lost in a white night

Illusion froze the tide

My longing for redemption

Of my pride

And love

Precious things in my mind

Slip away from my sight

I run to the shore

Of the river

And you walk away

And I mourn

There's a time for rage

A moment for deceit

The memories stay

And lull me into lies

Will they rock me to sleep?

The beginning of the end

I'm learning to survive

All night after night

Learning to breathe

While all smothers me

Precious things bleed inside

myself, in the corners of my mind

I'm prisoner of nights

I'm all broken inside

Precious things are my mind's wealth

My last hope

Dreams lost in a white night

Illusion froze the tide

My longing for redemption
