There was a time in days of old
we were friends, I used to know
but hearts grew cloudy gray and cold
And the times were over that we would grow

closer

If I had known then this was only a dream
that you and I weren't meant to last
and that nothing in your heart was what it seemed
I would have never made you part of my past

forever

And now a little dreamer lost in dark wood
grows ever further from the true clear path
and further from waking, into sleep's dark hood
pulled deeper and darker from sleepless wrath

together

And now, in cold cages around our hearts
we sit together, back to back, and alone
the time was short, but we left our marks
when you came back, they've all but grown
