Inspired by a real life tragedy, 'Dawn Never Came' is a song about understanding the inner workings and motives of a psychopath.
lyrics
Peel away my skin,
Reveal an endless war,
An infinite struggle churning back and forth,
From the inside watch myself break,
Out of stone eyes I stare,
Thoughts scatter watch them ricochet,
Out the window see my children play,
Lost forever salvaged from the lake,
From this deed I can't return,
Will they ever find a reason for this tragedy?
Will their hearts grow cold while I'm remembered in melody?
As I stalk my helpless prey,
See the fear in my darling's face,
Oh how did it come to this?
Fall.
