Tell me all the secrets you stole
As we take our last breath of autumn
and embrace the winter's cold
Until we're blissful silhouettes
dancing in the shadows cast
of our former selves
Reveling in the emptiness we see
In everyone else
Then the lights go dim
and regret becomes all I know
Slowly I become nothing // Slowly I feel nothing
Except the guilt of disappointment I've caused everyone
And the fear of future failures; what's yet to come
Now that the light has died
the cold becomes overwhelming
I realize what this truly was
A false hope and nothing
So I will let the winter take me
Until the numbness finally sets in
And as the cold air fills my lungs
I know I'll never feel warmth again
[Ben spoken word]
I was holding my breath
counting back the seconds
Until I could feel the warmth
of the pale glow
It was never the sun

A comforting darkness
Holding dear these false memories
A fear of clarity
Do I dare to wonder?
Never question
I'll never question
This is where hope died // This is where belief died
This is where hope dies // This is where belief dies

Enveloped by a familiar stillness
The calmness is overwhelming
But the illusion of comfort starts to fade
And what is left
is crushing
The air is too heavy to breathe
All I know was wrong
I'll beg the ground to swallow me whole again
And forgive me
for ever looking to the sky
All that's left to do is pray
that our hindsight betrays us
as our memory goes
It was never worth the waiting
So I'll crawl back into my womb of dirt
Until the fire in my eyes is snuffed out
And the light is gone
And it's all you'll ever know

Truth
03:54
|
|||
|
Still searching for purpose
hands outstretched grasping at straws
of hope and reassurance
That fate is more fickle
than we believe
But I don't believe
That we are hollow // hallowed
shells of shells
waiting for dim light and faith to misguide us
Into the arms of nothing
to become nothing itself
as we disregard
Our promise of future // our future
But it's in your heart
and soon you will find
That the blood is bad and it's waiting
Underneath your skin
Until it breaks the surface
And becomes you
It's who you really are
It's in your heart

Bodied

I stared into you as your abyss
As you stared back into me
I watched you fade into formlessness
As we coalesced
A warmth I never felt before
As you whisper to me
The visions
creating the vacancy in your eyes
Just know that I see them too

I'm begging you
to find the life // light in my eyes
I think that I finally broke this time
I can't enjoy this absence of consequence
I can't enjoy the lack of consciousness
I think that I finally broke this time
I'm begging you
Please find the light
in my eyes
