The Echo or the Answer

Empty Rooms

I'm full of empty rooms

Where pieces of myself used to

Stay

They moved out one by one

After I gave each one away

Calypso

And I hum the same songs

We always find a

Hero

But never one that sticks around

My mind is full of

Relics

And things I've had to bury

They keep me up all night

Regrets

Belong to the sober

So I'll take that drink now

Ask

me if I am the flight or the flame

If I am to be

feather

Then I am drifting away

Too far for your

reach

If I am what burns

Then I scorch everything I

Touch

Spare me crying when I'm gone

Some are built for tears others for

Blood

Battle threads through these veins

Strife is tangled is my

hair

War is what I was stitched together for

Don't cry for me

Lost

Is who I'll be without you

Thankfully I'll not hold the map

Lonely

Clouds wait for us both

But our eyes will wince at the same

Sun

Our story is inked into my skin

How could I

forget

Look at your empty room

I know I have a piece of

you

I have a place for it to stay
