Only Half

Look over to see your shadow,

Nothing but a whisper that'll

Never be enough.

My hands feel cold without yours in 'em,

Grasp at air again and again.

Feeling empty in your absence,

A half of a whole,

Paying penance.

Scared I'll wake from this dream of ours,

Hoping my reality's up in the stars.

Nothing but a wish you'll come with,

Can't close the distance,

Blood down my wrist.

Withering under the sky,

Counting days 'til I die.

Under the surface,

Pressure amounts,

There's nowhere to go,

Only one way out.

Safe as a victim,

I'm taking your route.

Lay beside you,

A coffin we share,

'Cause death is equal, 

But life's unfair
