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
