She cries
children often do
when they're cold
and hungry too
Come closer
look deeply in her eyes
so delicate
quite unlike her smile
Life clinging backwards
in the fall of dread confusion
still this silence
gnaws upon your fingertips
Cold yielding breath
for instant isolation
far more sinister
than the price of doubt
Yet you remain
still you remain
And she says
pray for daylight
pray for morning
pray for an end to our deception
Pray for daylight
pray for morning
pray for an end to our deception
Life clinging backwards
in the fall of dread confusion
still this silence
gnaws upon your fingertips
Cold yielding breath
for instant isolation
far more sinister
than the price of doubt
Yet you remain
still you remain
And she says
pray for daylight
pray for morning
pray for an end to our deception
Pray for daylight
pray for morning
pray for an end to our deception
Pray for daylight
pray for morning
pray for an end to our deception
Pray for daylight
pray for morning
pray for an end to our deception
Pray for daylight
pray for morning
pray for an end to our deception
Pray for daylight
pray for morning
pray for an end to our deception
