"Melancholy" lyrics

Lightning strikes surround me
Keep the shadows from my eyes
I fear this melancholy twilight
That your outline left behind
Thunder whisper out and stirs
This solitary night
I hear this suffocating quiet all the time
I hate the silence

Left alone to my own devices
Distracted in thought
I'd rather face the wrath of the storm
Than feel the aftermath that it brought
I see the silhouettes of your face in crisis
Like specters of rain whose spirits
Disappear in somber tones of gray
Left me here to wander through the shade

I swear the overcast
Is worse than the dark
I let these strangers try and tell me
I don't know who you are

Lightning strikes surround me
Keep the shadows from my eyes
I fear this melancholy twilight
That your outline left behind
Thunder whisper out and stirs
This solitary night
I hear this suffocating quiet all the time
I hate the silence

Ashes descending from skeletal trees that remain
I'd rather cede to the flames
Than cling to the branches that reached to the heavens in vain
Desperately pleading for rain
I hung the mosaic that keeps me awake
Still every tesseract's shameful
I took a pill but I live with the pain still
I bet you think that I'm grateful
Delusional and unsolicited lies
Darkening the obsidian sky
At least the horizon was glistening
Under the storm light

Lightning strikes surround me
Keep the shadows from my eyes
I fear this melancholy twilight
That your outline left behind
Thunder whisper out and stirs
This solitary night
I hear this suffocating quiet all the time
I hate the silence

I can't escape
I feel the emptiness in waves
Slowly eroding every surface to gray
My head remains
Worn and sedated in decay
I miss the turbulent rains

(Lightning strikes)
I miss your terrifying beautiful lights
(Thunder cry)
I hate the silence that your voice left behind

What a beautiful night to take in the scenery
