Only Now




Can you hear the tower burning
Turning that wonder inside out
I thought I knew the taste of shame
Thought I?d kissed that flame
Thought I?d snuffed that doubt
Not this time, or so it seems
Dreams lost from a sudden wake
Couldn?t curb the shudder
Couldn?t hide the clutter
Empty lines between mistakes
Only now, too big of you
Knew the darkness hid it all
Heard a promise passing
Swear I heard it laughing
Who knew too big could feel so small
?Not tonight? you told my heart
Apart from your sweet victory
Waiting for the sun to rise
Am I the only one who dies
Even still you?re haunting me
