lyrics

Fall is loosening ties of past bloom
The rain has paved the ways of treasons cold
No warmth in the sun, no distance run
Again the pain that comes with love unfolds

Look past the drunk nights where I can't afford your heart
Mine is so cheap right now, I don't even know where to start

Those who look for the edge of time, I could reveal it
It's now, I don't know how to proceed from here
Dreams that'll never grow past my front door
Outside the roads lead firmly to nowhere

Since I found out I held no candle from the start
once again for all to see there is no purpose for my heart

She's like the sky above, under which all is love
She's like the seeds I sow to make the whole world bloom
Last of the flowers left, so pure and beautiful
Though, when the night broke down she left with but a void

Island, what have you done to my recent desire?
Friday band, have you met my recent rival of July?
Torched hand, how they turned the night so dire and real
So I think of you, baby, and your consorting ideal

Angel, did you descend to show me how to feel?
Or to leave once you paved the way for what my heart concealed?
Great thoughts how confessions would finally revive
I would die for you if you only had left me alive

Though I found out I held no candle from the start
once again for all to see you are the purpose for my heart

Fall is lingering, smothering my garden
The sky she painted crumbled by the fence
It's not september moons or cold afternoons
that keep her eyes from brighten where she goes

I know her garden well, she cannot hide from tell
how things are golden even in the darkest hour
I know that I'd provide, but yet I'm forced to hide
Waiting to bring the light and make her flower grow

Island, what have you done to my recent desire?
Friday band, have you met my recent rival of July?
Torched hand, how they turned the night so dire and real
So I think of you, baby, and your consorting ideal

Angel, did you descend to show me how to feel?
Or to leave once you paved the way for what my heart concealed?
Great thoughts how confessions would finally revive
I would die for you if you only had left me alive

So, I've no choice now but to stay aside and wait
If tomorrow will ever come I hope I'm not too late

Just one time, to sing my love
without the thickness of the air
without the grand despair of the night
when she brings all the light
I could ever need to fill my heart with life

Just one time, to hear my love returned
with all the luck they say
and for what I have prayed
in the night, on a quest for the light
I would die for her to bring the love to life
