The Fragile Beauty (Of New Morning Hopes) cover
08. Of Dreams and Ghosts
Album: The Fragile Beauty (Of New Morning Hopes)
Artist: Alex Henry Foster
 

Beloved, wake up
Break the anchor of the dream-bound deep
Beloved, wake up
Emerge from the sea of sorrow and grief
Beloved, wake up
Cast away the siren’s songs and their calls of illusion
Beloved, wake up
Summon your spirit to conquer the tides of affliction
Beloved, wake up
Wake up
Wake up

And I closed my eyes
From the blanket of stars disappearing
Turning your silence in high-rising silhouettes
Leaving my fading horizon
My fading horizon without a shimmer to believe in
A shimmer to believe in
Pitiless as the sun blinding me out
With a darkness I can feel
From the blank bullets we all shoot from a prayer
A prayer aimed at the sky
The smoking gun remains the same
Its hopeless view reflecting, reflecting your eyes
Your eyes, empty like the world kneeling down
Always lower and lower
Desecrating the faith we used to have in the brightest colors
Brightest colors
And I swear, and I know
I’ve been here before
I’ve been here before
The stained glass windows somehow can’t lie
Well I don’t remember much
If I don’t recall the shades
It’s the shadows and their sounds
That give up the noise
That give up the noise
From the static that shatters
So deep inside my head
Covering all the lights that shine through my dreams
That shine through my hungers
Only to leave me with some trace of you
Your wavering ghost
As I steer through the memories I’ve tried to hold onto
While everything we shared keeps dropping out of our hands trembling
Trembling

But now I know
But now I know

Have we feared the lights
Have we pushed away
What still remains

There’s nowhere else to hide
Nowhere else to let it out
A wish in my head
A safe place to land
Everything I’ve always dreamed of

We’re falling, falling
Down on our knees
What breaks the tide
What calls you home

And I’ve made a home
Of grief inside all along
Raising my head
Watching you leave

Maybe what’s true
Maybe what’s true
Isn’t as real as they say
Maybe what’s true
As they want me to lie
As they want me to lie down
Surrender for living a different way
I wish I could pretend, it’s ok, it’s alright, I’ve got time
I’ll find a reason to make it mine, to turn it all
To turn it all into sparkling gold, once again, once again
Once I get it out, once again
Once I let go, once again
Once I’m free, once again
I will start breathing like I used to
Once again

Before the static I despise
Blazes louder from within
Roaming around
On days when we used to smile
Before the noises
Before the fear
Before I kept on crumbling down
Before I lost it all
Before I lost it all
Lost it all

What makes you break
What brings you down
What breaks the tide
What breaks you down
What breaks the tide
What calls you home
Calls you home

Have we feared the lights
Have we pushed away
What still remains

There’s nowhere else to hide
Nowhere else to let it out
A wish in my head
A safe place to land
Everything I’ve always dreamed of

We’re falling, falling
Down on our knees
What breaks the tide
What calls you home

And I’ve made a home
Of grief inside all along
Raising my head
Watching you leave

Beloved, wake up
Wake up
Wake up
It’s morning now
It’s morning now
It’s morning now
