The House of Donn EP

The Blowing winds have come my way, come the hour come the day Time moves on, waits for no man. The rising tide of life, this race not yet ran. Stumbling along Crashing upon Dancing alone In this point in time Faded memories wash over me , Of times that came and went now a foggy mist out at sea. The passing of time has crept upon Like a theft in the night stealing time from within and then gone. Breathing in the air The silence is here The dawn of the day Shedding its light Breathing in the air Holding on to where I have always been And where I'll always be. Swallowed in this place whole Swallowed in this place Whole

He wakes at night , trembles with fear. In the dark he lies as the morning draws near Outside his window the wind it howls This night This night His eyes they gaze in the blackness of night To the moon shining through Memories laid bare in the light He dwells on such worries that cripple him so Oh this he knows this he knows When the night comes crying out When the rain comes pouring down When you feel lost and haunted from within From within His footsteps creak echoed in this sleeping space The floorboards beneath The silence encased In the this tomb he now lingers For to wither away This day This day He hands they shake rumble with pain Inside he knows such sorrow remains Resolute he will conquer this plight on his name This life he'll reclaim, he'll reclaim When the night comes crying out When the rain comes pouring down When you feel lost and haunted from within From within

Falling – into this life of hell you see Crawling – for it has brought you to your knees You've been dreaming – of a past of felicity Abrupt you wake sweat dripping to your feet A Needle in your arm – you're complicity How did it come to this How did it come to this Talking – riddles in your mind Seeking – an end that's not in sight You've been fading – from the man you once had known Withering away on this dark road Without a gentle hand to hold How did it come to this How did it come to this How did it come to this How did it come to this

Forgotten 05:20
An old man he stands by the river below Regretting his life, his spite of time let grow The snow it falls, upon the frozen ground The icy stream beneath his withered face The icy heart within his veins Such sorrow Memories he recalls of a past he once knew Helpless now this man seeped in regret seeped in blue The frosty wind sweeps across his face Like water upon a stone In this bleak winter this abandoned space This man remains alone Such sorrow Too late - time has passed you by Too late - you stand by the river this night Haunted - By the life you once had known Haunted - by the seeds that you have sown Forgotten in this frozen land of thorns Forgotten

Memories 05:23
Late at night I came upon, A sight I had not seen before Reflection in the window, of someone I did not know. Wicked figure in black I see, He grinningly looks back at me Unearthed by failings, He could not longer ignore Drawn from the shadows , into a life he needed more. Trapped inside he knows, Those empty eyes glass will show Enclosed in a dream, He forgets for a moment he doesn't seem to care. His self esteem blossoms , Or so it seems But it's just an illusion. A reflection of broken dreams. Destroyed by memories Those he cannot forget Aching misery Into this life he lets
