Solitude, my friend   You've found me once again   Always able to run   but never able to hide   Capable of just about anything but love      My life goes through the motions   A day across from a wasted year   I've cried a thousand oceans   only to suffocate all my fears   Only smiling in the dark   Unaware of people and places      Tomorrow breaks a new hope   and points of light turn to shadows   crystallizing on a mountain top   Shedding dark into day      My memory fails me now   when I truly need it most   Good only comes from the past   but if I can't make it last   Why can't I at least   make it through the night?      Clouds pour over on black streams   A distant red moon shadows degredation   Screaming out all the words I've ever written   into a microphone that dogs can't even hear   Yelling in vain   Fixed into nothing   Shaping my future out of clay   on the worst possible day   A passionless child will reach out   and find my damage follows   As tommorow breaks a new hope   Lightning flashes into absent cries
