I wish I could see the sky today
But there’s only endless fog
Filling me with silence
Choking me
All that’s left
A straining heart grinding down to nothing
Gasping in the dark

Now that I’m broken
Set me free

I can’t just expect it
The sun on my face
When I’ve let so many sunny days
Come, and go to waste
Rigid, fragile, and holding back
My tongue has been burned of the taste

It’s been so long so I don’t believe
I don’t believe anymore
Change, hope, love, and warmth
Just words without meaning
Like life without light

When I close my eyes, sometimes I see
Solitary seconds of a forgotten maybe
Fractured pieces of what could be
Lonely fragments framed by fear
But those pieces twist and burn
And my mind begins to stray
And then soon enough
I have to numb it all away

This horrible desire I can’t define
Feels like a stranger but I know it’s all mine

And all the things that I’ve done
And all the things I could do
Set me on fire in my silence
At least the pain is true
