In the midst of a sickly revelation
Standing unafraid before you
We're trembling, but it's not cold enough
Over us the trees are gently swaying
Casting our shadows into darkness
My heart is scraping against us
Unprepared for moments like this
It is a drastic game we're playing
Safe if we stay away from the edges
But we made no promises
So unsurprisingly
I find the distance has returned
We're pretending
Avoiding
The reason it hurts
Just breathe deep, sleep, ignore ourselves
Cling onto anything else
Destroy all the emotional ties, but I
Still find parts of myself
Come alive when I drown in your eyes
I begin to cut off the air supply
When I feel our hearts begin to swell
But it's too late to stop this now, I'm
Wandering the memories through sound
I can't seem to throw it all away
Even when I'm given a path out
I used to know how to shut this down
Instead I struggle every which way
Trying to find the right way around
This growing, empty space
