Despair Lyrics - Singles - Cobalt London Smaug

(E. Pugh) 

And where darkness reigns 

And shadows lurch 

I spread my wings 

To leave my perch 

And up in your skies 

I am within a disguise 

And for all not to see 

I am not one with me 

I hide behind this mask 

As if to fulfill a task 

The little boy inside 

Closed his eyes and cried 

And the pleading of his cries 

Is seen by no eyes 

Such despair I decree 

I no longer know me 

I live upon a table 

On which nothing can be seen 

But upon that very table 

Lies the emptiness of me 

Flying high above 

I see dark ahead 

But to the light I turn 

To face good instead of bad 

And the pleading of his cries 

Is seen by no eyes 

Such sorrow I decree 

I no longer know me 

Such sorrow I decree 

I no longer know me
