Despair

Despair Lyrics

(E. Pugh)
And where darkness reigns
And shadows lurch
I spread my wings
To leave my perch
And up in your skies
I am within a disguise
And for all not to see
I am not one with me
I hide behind this mask
As if to fulfill a task
The little boy inside
Closed his eyes and cried
And the pleading of his cries
Is seen by no eyes
Such despair I decree
I no longer know me
I live upon a table
On which nothing can be seen
But upon that very table
Lies the emptiness of me
Flying high above
I see dark ahead
But to the light I turn
To face good instead of bad
And the pleading of his cries
Is seen by no eyes
Such sorrow I decree
I no longer know me
Such sorrow I decree
I no longer know me
