[Verse 1]
I cannot write a word today, no fire in my vein
Because the vents of love are closed, and I am feeling plain
She is not interesting to me, no Cupid’s arrow sting
Though she is lovely as before, like art that engravings bring
I’m looking for a soul in torment, just to feel the glow
But I don’t hear my heart beat fast, though I remember woe
[Verse 2]
I’m tired of being good to all, while stifling my groan
No passerby can ever hear my heart’s metallic tone
We’re killing one another now, forgetting all our dreams
But give ourselves to someone else, in hurried, scheduled schemes
We are used to it, we’re tired, on illusions we are fed
But our hearts are made of steel, since our dreams are dead
[Chorus]
We are stealing our dawns, replacing them with gray
And for all our questions now, no answers come our way
Not a dream, an empty cage, where it’s cozy, but so dark
Where love is just a withered branch, that leaves a lonely mark
[Verse 3]
My song is never being sung, no poems from my pen
My heart is beating out of time, avoiding sins again
No matter how our bodies sing, or how we fight with fate
We both know that we never became each other’s dream, too late
And on the well-worn, dusty road, a million feet will go
Stealing dreams from their own lives, with destiny so low
[Verse 4]
Tomorrow morning comes again, the coffee, masks, and kids
Life is written wisely now, but the spark is on the skids
We are afraid to look behind, to see the void so vast
For it’s so great to live your life, when dreams are in the past
And so we’ll sail in circles now, with etiquette so tight
Just lovers to each other, duo of shadows in the night
[Chorus]
We are stealing our dawns, replacing them with gray
And for all our questions now, no answers come our way
Not a dream, an empty cage, where it’s cozy, but so dark
Where love is just a withered branch, that leaves a lonely mark
