The Perfect Sunrise Video (MV)

Asleep in your summer dress
Dirty hair still gathered
In a clip
Today's worries slowly floating off your chest
Tonight's dreams whispering off your lips

Here am I
Where I fell
Too exhausted to run
Eyes fixed on the horizon
Waiting for the sun

Your day shone perfect and markless
Warm, brilliant, bright
It fell away too soon to darkness
Replaced by night
I'm the one who remembers what once was
And now is gone
The only one who sees bitter dusk
And remembers hopeful dawn

What was beautiful was mutable
And rare as hen's teeth
Though it ran deep, it could not keep
When faced with what's beneath

I can't see Thermopylae
I know you're sleeping there
I ran my ship aground
When the sails began to tear

Of actors, words, and stage
Our labyrinth is made
And now I cannot find my way
Out of this masquerade

With all my strength, I tried to hold on
To the fire in the perfect sunrise
But I cannot hold on to my burning heart
When your hair drifts
In front of your eyes

The ground gets colder every minute
I sit and wait for your return
But I made this stand, and I'll die in it
Remembering the burn

I could feel you once
But now your light is too far
It has grown so very cold
Since you became a distant star
