2d
Life’s everlasting
Landslides devour my being
Drown the life
Right outta me
Soak up what’s left
And wrap me up head first
Is there ever
Enough elixir
To wear thee makeup off
Wash away
The razors edge
Taking the cape off
I can’t fly alone
Me versus me
Head to head
It’s always felt
Like a thick fog
I can’t see two feet
In front of me
From where I am standing
Illusions that bind
Mask my fears
And deepest pains
Hold me still when I’d rather not
The infinite sparks
In me that hide my blues
Scariest truest feelings
That make me sick
And keep me going at the same time
How could this be
Hiding me behind my eclipse
Solar flares burning doors
Afraid to come out of the dark
Sedated as the light burns
Me to ashes
As the day walker in me
Turns to sand
When the lights go out completely here
