I'm built of water splashing over edges As I fall and break upon rocks With mud in my bones and creaky joints and sand makes my eyes lashes I'm built of dust, blowing away Carried by the wind wherever it goes I don't care anymore for it doesn't matter I'm just built of words with no meaning And of empty light burning in darkness And hollow waves crashing against storms I fall beneath and beneath And hit the darkness rusting underneath Where no one shows when I scream Where no light dares to touch my eyes And my bones all shatter, until they're just powdered calcium And blood freeze in my bones, forming stalactites, piercing through my veins And my skin cracks and breaths escape And the shadows sink inside my shell And fissures seep through my irises And oceans dissolve my dust eyelashes And memories burn my eyes and flow past the brims It's only raw, absolute, sheer pain As I tear slowly without screaming Only tears, howls and lost love And your betrayal and false friends I've lived for so long but haven't found peace Now I'm just begging your memories to leave me be For there's nothing now I could lose Nothing left of me or my dreams anymore Nothing of wounded hope And my canvas of love I've seen the streets for a thousand years always wandering never finding my own home I'm afraid if I let my eyes closet they'll dream again For I'm torn, vein by vein and cell by cell I'm nothing but a shadow of who I was Nothing but reflection of my past Just an echo of a scream I used to be Just an illusion of the life I've lived Nothing more is left, love For I've given you all of me How can you tear me, love? I'm already lying in red ribbons I'm strips of flesh and blood And of Silver pain and Black hope Love, I'm smiling the last time Please tell me to stay And hold me for eternity Because just forever isn't enough for me.

My Cascades bled hope
I'm built of water splashing over edges As I fall and break upon rocks With mud in my bones and creaky joints and sand makes my eyes lashes I'm built of dust, blowing away Carried by the wind wherever it goes I don't care anymore for it doesn't matter I'm just built of words with no meaning And of empty light burning in darkness And hollow waves crashing against storms I fall beneath and beneath And hit the darkness rusting underneath Where no one shows when I scream Where no light dares to touch my eyes And my bones all shatter, until they're just powdered calcium And blood freeze in my bones, forming stalactites, piercing through my veins And my skin cracks and breaths escape And the shadows sink inside my shell And fissures seep through my irises And oceans dissolve my dust eyelashes And memories burn my eyes and flow past the brims It's only raw, absolute, sheer pain As I tear slowly without screaming Only tears, howls and lost love And your betrayal and false friends I've lived for so long but haven't found peace Now I'm just begging your memories to leave me be For there's nothing now I could lose Nothing left of me or my dreams anymore Nothing of wounded hope And my canvas of love I've seen the streets for a thousand years always wandering never finding my own home I'm afraid if I let my eyes closet they'll dream again For I'm torn, vein by vein and cell by cell I'm nothing but a shadow of who I was Nothing but reflection of my past Just an echo of a scream I used to be Just an illusion of the life I've lived Nothing more is left, love For I've given you all of me How can you tear me, love? I'm already lying in red ribbons I'm strips of flesh and blood And of Silver pain and Black hope Love, I'm smiling the last time Please tell me to stay And hold me for eternity Because just forever isn't enough for me.
