Sleep won’t bring me peace
I still feel you as I dream
Whatever will be, will be
But I fear this will only destroy me
I cannot breathe for you
Though I’d try if you asked me to
Under light that casts no shade
As you flicker and fade away
Safe in solace
It’s quieter in my mind
Safe in paradigm
We’ll reunite with time
It sinks through my skin
To know we can’t begin again
There was heaven in all that I let go
And hell in all I held too close
So I need you to hear me
Can you see how I feel it?
The ache and the burn of losing you to sleep
The empty space between the pen and the page
The grief in my head I will bear til my grave

Exhume Me
04:35

You’re all just skeletons with saccharine voices
Regurgitating sentiments from eating corpses
Dead eyes and silhouette skin
Masquerading as living things
Dressed up as secrets that we couldn’t hope to keep
I loved you at your darkest, and still you turned to leave
Now this heart that once so boldly adorned my sleeve
Just drags behind me on a tattered leash
This love was buried by our coffin nail tongues
But we didn’t need to see it die so young
I’d do anything to see this all preserved
Even if it hurts
I set fire to keep you safe, as I promised I would
Now I’m measured by my failures, love misunderstood
“Until the end, my sweetest friend”
All the kinder things you said
But those words die in your throat
Like that love of mine you stole
This love was buried by our coffin nail tongues
But we didn’t need to see it die so young
I’d do anything to keep this all preserved
Even if it hurts
I’m begging for mercy
Exhume me from this grave we dug my strength alone is
Not enough to lift the weight of punishment
This hell I live
Will not relent this swift descent is all
That’s left for
Me to feel since you spun your heels and turned
This is all you'll ever be (a memory) just forgotten
This is all we’ll ever be (unhappy) and unforgiving
Through clenched teeth and tears you choked,
It’s not making me happy, anymore
Happy, you never were
You couldn’t cut a smile out of her

Heather Fields

Young at heart and out of luck, I built a ladder with broken rungs
Made the best of what I have, heather fields and idle hands
Searched for hope in the smallest veins, a ray of light in the darkest grey
Stood with those who’ll stand by me, promises I’ll always keep
Kiss the sky, I’ve been reborn
In the light that shines in every morn
It never comes too soon, or brings too long a day
I no longer wish the night had stripped my life away
I will be there, by your side
Once my torment has run dry
Young at heart and out of luck, I built a ladder with broken rungs
Made the best of what I have, heather fields and idle hands
Searched for hope in the smallest veins, a ray of light in the darkest grey
Stood with those who’ll stand by me, promises I’ll always keep
Kiss the sky, I’ve been reborn
In the light that shines in every morn
Despite these wounds, love remains
To be continued in my name
Where I had lived before, I died again
And life has found a way
At least for now I’m satisfied, I think I’m happy to be alive

Live Without

On the precipice
Of ignorance and bliss
I found not only you
But, nothing to hold onto
The trials of these times
Bear nothing to future light
I pray that you come down
And speak to me now
Where were you on the longest nights?
Where were you when I found these hands were mine?
If faith is just a metaphor for what I live without
Deep into the ground
(Abandoned in those circles just too far to be found
I’ll rest my head here forever, neither sight nor sound)
I’m not afraid to die or leave this sorry world behind
Only to think that when I go
It’s you who’s there to greet me, with worn and tired hope
That I had found peace in you, and comfort in old bones
I’ve buried it all so deep
Repression manifesting in my dreams
The haunt remains perpetually
Persistent in reminding me
And I still feel it in the wake
Of all the things you didn’t say
The catalyst for the collapse
Of love you toll without romance
If all of this is fleeting, I pray that it leaves scars
To serve as a reminder of who we think we are
(Where were you, where were you?)
Once more, no room for kinder words
From cradle to the grave, the human curse
This stubborn skin, forged by time and ice
A frost that won’t be thawed by glory nor light
If all of this is fleeting, I pray that it leaves scars
To serve as a reminder of who we think we are
