Here I stand
On the cold floor
The world won’t rotate
Anymore
In the quiet
Everything has changed
The universe
Is rearranged
Running through
The open night
Stars burn out
Lose their light
Fighting fire
Fear and hate
Gonna grasp
My final fate
Winning some
Losing all
From the blackened
Heights I fall
New Year’s dreams
Kissed my face
Broken glass
Takes their place
So much pain
I left behind
So much love
I’d hoped to find
My burdens fall
To the ground
Golden light
All around
Masquerades
Curtain calls
Silver dreams
Midnight balls
