Holding on the hope you will return
For a moment think that you have
Brief impulse is all that I've earned
Resist coming completely back
I'm lying beneath skies full of stars
Frozen ground padding my head
Weakly wondering where you are
Pushing up buried expressions unsaid
The deep roots are tough to rip loose
They've been planted profoundly for so long
Forlorn because I failed to use
Fearing they'd come out wrong
Anguish has now awakened
Manifestation of my flaws
Regretting the path taken
Past a parasite that gnaws
The thought of freedom makes me laugh
Existing but actually dead
Like the way I cope with being half
Acting like I'm whole instead
Isolation is an alien feeling
Heard stories but had no clue
Hardly remember what it means to start healing
Never had a cut as deep as you

Frozen ground padding my head
Weakly wondering where you are
Pushing up buried expressions unsaid
The deep roots are tough to rip loose
They've been planted profoundly for so long
Forlorn because I failed to use
Fearing they'd come out wrong
Anguish has now awakened
Manifestation of my flaws
Regretting the path taken
Past a parasite that gnaws
The thought of freedom makes me laugh
Existing but actually dead
Like the way I cope with being half
Acting like I'm whole instead
Isolation is an alien feeling
Heard stories but had no clue
Hardly remember what it means to start healing
Never had a cut as deep as you
