Video by Elide Blind.

lyrics:

The break of dawn of such a lonesome night
I rub my aching soul to wear the mask of light (it's alright)
The world demands so much but I hold no dears
The world awaits the laughs that we all want to hear

Pretend to know what smiling means
Whispers I hear, but never near
Through silent halls I fade in fear
(and I'm alone) wishes untold not to cry for

Cast the shadows over me
Sanctuary, twilight for eternity

The break of dusk, a sickle carved in light
My eyes are shut, my mind is were the lost things hide (everynight)
A threadbare coat was lost in a field of stones
Night's sweet release feel dead, feel cold, feel not unwhole

Pretend to know what smiling means
Whispers I hear, but never near
Through silent halls I fade in fear
(and I'm alone) wishes unheard not to cry

Cast the shadows over me
Sanctuary, twilight for eternity
