Lavender (lyrics)

Please wait for me

I’ll catch up soon

 

If you let me

Lace our hands, I’ll Follow you

 

I drag my gaze

As I wrap you

 

Around my nerves

Tangled and pulled close into

 

The deepest soft purple hues

 

Take it all off

And close your eyes

 

To truly see me

As colossal stars collide

 

We drench our skin

In beating breaths

 

From deep within

Clenching onto all that’s left

 

From the torment that we’ve kept

 

Wake up

And never look back

Through the nightmares

That seethe through the cracks

 

Hold tight

Onto our hearts

Bittersweet dream

Will fall apart

 

Together all apart

 

You’re always

My everything

 

Even when trapped

Between the gaps in this nothing

 

 

Come meet me here

At the crossroads

 

Of Never’s end

Our one and only home

 

In a world of plastic thrones

 

Wake up

And never look back

Through the nightmares

That seethe through the cracks

 

Hold tight

Onto our hearts

Bittersweet dream

We’ll fall apart

 

Together all apart

 

I tore forth a death tattered cry

Threw myself at your soul’s side

And I took on Never

For us, to keep ourselves

 

Since the shot drenched the air with fear

Broke our lungs with ashen tears

And you took on Forever

To fall asleep

 

Hear this madness festering

 

Wake up

And never look back

Through the nightmares

That seethe through the cracks

 

Hold tight

Onto our hearts

Bittersweet dream

We’ll fall apart

 

Together all apart
