Words, sugar candy frosting that decorate the cake
Such flavour too powerful for some to eat it whole
The meaning was there all along urging one to wake
As life, like a greedy lover, gradually takes its toll.
Hot wax silently drips from the candles tiny flames
Another anniversary, another page turned of the book
As eyes begin to open things will never be the same
And silent footsteps echo, without a second look.
Icy breath upon the shoulder, don't think of turning round
Eyes wide shut, but still there 's a way to see
Clock face soon lies broken and time it makes no sound
As the tainted dove now struggles to shake her wings free.
