I started drinking early today

I started drinking early today
I missed the sunrise
And never saw you leave
I started drinking early today
The world is easy this way
Tthought becomes a memory
But I have chosen this

I thought you could fake it
I thought I should try
I thought you could want me
I think I might die

I started drinking today
My morning steps are ruined
By the emptiness
I started drinking today
Leaving a path of broken glass
And knotted hair behind
I cry to not be seen

If all of this were blackness
And all had come undone
If heart and mind were broken
By the rising of the sun

I started today
And left this word unfinished
I started today
To escape the tears and blackness
To see your face
In a shard of blood-red glass

Few words have not been spoken

Few words have not been spoken
And I have said these things before
We are caught in circles
Bands stronger than iron
For we believe
And faith is the basis for reality

I recognize where I am standing
I have never been here
But there are clues
Left from where I was

Lead me to temptation
For I am stronger
To resist
And let this part within me die
