whisper to me
of death and misfortune

sing me a song
of tragedy and terror

lull me with a lullaby
of pain and sorrow

do not whisper
sweet nothings
that mean nothing

do not sing
of love
everlasting

there will be no lullabies
of elegant happiness
picture perfect

tell me your truths
your lies are only empty words
and a waste of breath

The feelings I got.
They want to arise.

I tell them sorry, no blue skies.  

These wounds they'll bleed.
I'm no nurse.
But it's nothing I can't handle.

Those lips of yours.
Oh, they tell the prettiest lies.
Things too pretty to come from you.

Nothing but pretty lies.
False love.
And guilty hope.  

Tell me secrets.
The dark ones.
The ones too ugly to see the light.  

Secrets safe with me.
I'm just a vault in the ocean.
That won't be set free.

May faith be resilient.

The doors have been bolted shut.
I'm trapped.
The only way out is up.
