Starting phrases and cumbersome changes so appear Past the rays of sunlight and unforgiven paths smear The unrelenting gaze of judging eyes and unkept sin How we play with fire, go to war with it, and win We have been like this for so long, it's been a while Since I last saw the moon when I gaze up to the sky Following the morning that took me back to where I started I try to find meaning in your absence and soul departed It has been quiet around the house we built on the sand The ocean comes only at dawn, slapping its heavy hand On the parched hearts and the edged pieces with ink stained My dear, I know how the ground smells after it has rained
Perhaps, it's my sense or how I look at others to live But I've walked these paths before to not know who to give My pieced heart—one that took too long to fix Shall I give it to you—you, who went with whoever clicks And with my time, I took too long to love like this When I did, guess what I got? Anxiety on dish Keep me from falling, you promised way back when But all of it crashed when we have forgotten The silent nights of crumbs and tales of why we're forsaken So I tell you of my scars and you tell me yours over again Our listless jives and impatient clocks are built to scorn My dear, I know how eyes and tears hurt when they burn
Farming praises and lumbering mutters of farewells Has it only been this long since we exchanged glances? Is it hard to believe—how we aren't given second chances? This is our lot; we have suffered deep in the trenches So far, all I've been dreaming of is a love so true But why did heaven go out of its way to have me meet you? Love, are you a blessing or a curse coming to ensue? Have you looked in a mirror and sifted who's who? It has been blaring—how the end looked like to my soul Shake me awake from the nightmare of a song Have me open my eyes to the reality of my call My dear, I know how bones crack when they catch my fall
It's the descent to madness—one which I should prepare for Some say it's mad but others claim I'll fly and soar Out of the darkness and the chaos of my thoughts It will pass, they said—you'd be able to laugh lots And laugh, I did; it's the only penance left for me I tip my head back to let out the bitterness of my memory The good times exist only to make me miss eternity How do I miss my bus heading towards insanity? Is this love, darling? Is it meant for someone broken? Or have we just forced ourselves to it to avoid sinking? Into the depths of our void, past the emptiness of old My dear, I know how the heart feels long after love went cold
