i endure the night to see the sun rise
a cyclical scale with no end in sight
no matter how i try the sun sets again each time
another eventide takes me as its prize
degrading me with its baleful blight
but i endure the night to see the sun rise
for a moment i feel i’m in my prime
my star crossed reprieve, i’ll bask in her light
but no matter how i try the sun sets again each time
through the lachrymose goodbyes
i’ll look in myself and find respite
to endure the night and see the sun rise
i try to soar but like icarus i’m
a bird whose wings were clipped in flight
because no matter how i try the sun sets again each time
i rise and i fall, the same order each time
i’m an arpeggio, a ceaseless harmonious plight
no matter how i try the sun will set each time
but i’ll continue to endure, so i can see the sun rise
