Dawn

I get so angry and helpless
 There's no way back from this spiral
 Something always has to give
 And nothing is given for nothing
 The drug is in my veins now
 Your life is your own for the taking
 My body must be slowing down now
 But my heart is at the speed of flying
 I'm walking out, I close the door
 I'm down the steps for the last time
 You can lose too much to ever want to start
 Over again - over again
 When I look back and think about it
 All I see is her face staring into mine
 I feel the child holding onto me
 I'm smelling his sweet smell of innocence
 The world has become too silent
 This night it seems everlasting
 The clocks ticking on like dripping water
 But the hands are not moving
 I'm walking out, I close the door
 I'm down the steps for the last time
 Then dawn breaks open in faded blue
 And the sounds of the city waking
 I'm walking out, I close the door
 I'm down the steps for the last time
 But the grass is soaked with fallen dew
 And the sun is almost rising
