Novembers Doom
The Dead Leaf Echo
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

Far away from your warmth I fade
Silently, I bid you farewell, and wallow in the moment

Looking back to the days when we were poor, and all we had was each other
You looked so sad, and almost ashamed to have me at your side
In circles spins my mind, and the vertigo makes me sick
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
