The Void Between Stars: Book 4 Of The Orion Series

When Lyrics Fall Short

A heart so heavy it could be made of stone

Please tell me what to do so I can atone

For all the things I haven't done yet

For all the wrongs that I will set

I'm stuck in this tomb

As you lick at my wound

We'll shake the dead until they wake up

What I've learned from suffering

Tried to spin it to gold

Dastardly wishes, foreclosed and then sold

The threads kept on snapping

While you kept on clapping

Would you shoulder these sins for me?

Spinning and twirling, I'm out on a limb

No matter what, I can never win

So all that I've learned

Nothing is as it seems

All shattered fragments

Crushed up broken dreams

Strapped to my regret

I think we are set

Let's double down on this here bet

So maybe on the rainy days

You and me can part our ways

There is no cure for what I have

Trust me I've tried to find the stave

Crosses burn and leave me in sin

My heart isn't heavy, made from tin

Don't worry, I'm just slowing losing control

Don't worry, I never really paid the toll

So I'll strap you down, act as though I care

When all that I want is to lick your chair

That's electric

My emotions are eclectic

Not looking to be saved

Long ago I caved

Not looking for pity

There's just a spring deep down in this levy

And maybe I'll plug it

Or maybe I won't

Not once have you begged at me, don't

And maybe I'll drown

Finally finding my lown

Happily sinking into the down

Maybe one more day will bring me something I need

Maybe one more day so I can sow my seed

Maybe one more day to bring me something I'm not

Sitting alone, I'll be king of this cot

Maybe one more day, an attempt to fix me

Maybe one more day, you can still trick me
