So Lonely, Dead Lonely

The night is darkest before dawn
 With helpless thoughts, rest alone
 A cold grey dawn, a new beginning
 When the past is forgotten again
 Your sweet caress, you are my air
 My loneliness and my despair
 You wait for me where waters freeze
 Infecting me with your disease
 The only touch that I have felt
 I played the hand that I was dealt
 And while it may seem I'm at ease
 It's growing much harder to breathe
 And the morning light is still so cold
 When the bottle's all that's left to hold
 To face the day all swept away
 And hope is flowing down the drain
 Admit it, there's no sun
 The only lights are man made
 And maybe there'll be
 A spotlight on my heart tonight
 Your sweet caress, you are my air
 My loneliness and my despair
 You wait for me where waters freeze
 Infecting me with your disease
 The only touch that I have felt
 I played the hand that I was dealt
 And while it may seem I'm at ease
 It's growing much harder to breathe
 And the morning light is still so cold
 When the bottle's all that's left to hold
 To face the day all swept away
 And hope is flowing down the drain
