empirical shadows and beautiful light

There's no way to take me back
From the life that I guide behind
The secret door I keep
Revisiting within my mind

Where death walks throughout my fate
Beneath that mournful sky
I watch how the clouds open
And I've never thought to ask why

My loneliness has never seemed
To fail and wash away
So if I engrave you here
Will you swear that you'll always stay

I wail out my soul to you
With each night that gives and takes
And embrace the undying hours
Of the life that you awake
