The Dead Leaf Echo - Novembers Doom
Since the day I let you believe
That a grand life I would provide
I am haunted by the failure you see before you
Consuming the echo
To travel the road of our dreams
With my back against the wall
All I can do is look the other way
And pretend that your face held a smile
Not to see your sullen eyes
Staring past my soul
Into the darkness of night
I feel I've failed you
When we both know
I never had the chance
To say hello
Far away from your warmth I fade
Silently
I bid you farewell
And wallow in the moment
So very small
This distance between us
To travel so long
And gain no ground
The very face I see in the mirror
Knows the truth behind the lies
For my trust
I hear the dead leaf echo
And the answer awaits us on the other side
Far away from your warmth I fade
Silently I bid you farewell
And wallow in the moment
Looking back to the days when we were poor
And all we had was each other
You looked so sad
And almost ashamed to have me
At your side to have me at your side
In circles spins my mind
And the vertigo makes me sick
All I can do
Is look the other way
And pretend that your face held a smile
Not to see your sullen eyes
Staring past my soul
Into the darkness of night
I feel I've failed you
When we both know
I never had the chance
To say hello
