Morning light so dim and gray
Echoes of a younger day
Holding on to dreams so frayed
All that's left just slips away
Hands so calloused hearts so worn
Pages torn forever scorned
Time's a thief it deals in scorn
Feels like I'm forever torn
Lost in time with no release
Memories that never cease
Looking for a bit of peace
Midnight comes I find no ease
Shadows creep along the wall
Silence answers to my call
Once so tall but now so small
Wonder if I matter at all
City's hum a lonesome tune
Whispers in the darkened room
Hope's a faded dying bloom
Wishing for another noon
Lost in time with no release
Memories that never cease
Looking for a bit of peace
Midnight comes I find no ease
