I Remember Mornings

(albüm: The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls: Behind The Musical - 2018)

I remember mornings
I remember stars
I remember sunlight
And moonlight and firelight and sky
I remember all these things, but why?

This is no place for memories
This is no place for tears
These long-forgotten memories
Must become forgotten years
Here no one has a past
Forget your memories fast
They'll haunt us if we let them last
But why do I remember mornings?
In mourning still am I

This is no place for pity
They're mad-this is the cost
Yet every girl reminds me of the child
The child I've lost
I'll look the other way
Endure another day
Embrace the part that I must play
But why do I remember mornings?
In mourning still am I

And so I'll leave them as I found them
My soul has turned to stone
But these cages that surround them
Just as well may be my own

Was I always grey?
Was I always cold?
When did I become so old?
Was I ever kind?
Did I ever laugh?
Did I ever love?
Did I ever live?

But I remember laughter
And joy before she fell
This life that followed after is no life
I live in Hell
God save me from my past
Let darkness follow fast
I've let her go and said my last goodbyes
But I remember mornings
Now I'm in mourning 'til I die
