Last night, I fell apart. I woke up blanketed in sodden ash, Tears saturated into the eruption's fallout The proximity of crackling fire assaulting my senses, I was still angry. I felt intoxicated, drunk on words never said But the ones that were spoken lay spiked into my head Partners apart, but strangers together The hawks are gone in my life, but you can still find the feathers Questions slicing through my mind I run away from stormy brine These tears that fall, I think you know Have haunted me since long ago Buried in formaldehyde These skeletons reflect our inside The secrets that we made to keep Take me before I fall asleep Though you're my fixer and my mess The walls echo with you less and less I fear it's not you running from me I'm forgetting what we used to be

Pieces of a Hole
Last night, I fell apart. I woke up blanketed in sodden ash, Tears saturated into the eruption's fallout The proximity of crackling fire assaulting my senses, I was still angry. I felt intoxicated, drunk on words never said But the ones that were spoken lay spiked into my head Partners apart, but strangers together The hawks are gone in my life, but you can still find the feathers Questions slicing through my mind I run away from stormy brine These tears that fall, I think you know Have haunted me since long ago Buried in formaldehyde These skeletons reflect our inside The secrets that we made to keep Take me before I fall asleep Though you're my fixer and my mess The walls echo with you less and less I fear it's not you running from me I'm forgetting what we used to be
