Facing Dawn

Take a seat

The air is bittersweet

Yesterday’s news

If I had the strength

to see beyond myself

I might refuse

Trembling boy

defends his weaker hand

with pride and joy

Watching as my life

implodes into the night

Facing dawn

No, I can’t give you reason

And I won’t search for treason

In a world where I belong

And I don’t need no answers

No questions need no answers

An inhuman fight for treasures

In this world where I belong

Just before

I face the dawn

Roll the dice

A day in paradise

The blind may lead the blind

Taken by the rise

and lost to endless lows

and groundless highs

As this game of chance

dissolves into the night

I’m facing dawn

No, I can’t give you reason

And I won’t search for treason

In a world where I belong

And I don’t need no answers

No questions need no answers

An inhuman fight for treasures

In this world where I belong

Just before I face the dawn

I’m master of naiveté

And with everything I own

In case the night should

turn to grey

I’m praying to be reborn

Before I face

the dawn
