Fathom 03:53
My shadows cursed but there's still light To have an absent mind or bury myself in my head; What's the difference? I told myself to keep my head on its shoulders and not in the clouds to stay rational This misery's killing me I've got nothing left to lose My soul, my mind, my body are breaking down This misery's killing me I've got nothing left to prove My faith, my hopes and dreams are falling apart (I can't believe) To say that it was unbearable (Lost in motion) is a thousand degrees too tame a word. (Straight off the edge ) With the sands of time (And I will astray) culminated into years My hopes weren't made by miracles My faith, it can't remain The familiar stance I once knew Time is not on our side Race against the clock My patience and love is wearing thin Do you feel contented (but this is all I have) forging new memories to rewrite ours from the start? (I've got nothing left) Not once or twice, but more than I could ever fathom (but this is all I have) Can you feel? (I've got nothing left) I think about you but I don't say it anymore Do you still remember? During all of those deserted nights Emptiness corresponds with doubt You can only imagine what lies in my closet, besides skin and bones My silent compassion never crossed your mind but i guess, time heals the broken No, I'll never feel the same way as before I'll let you know that I'm doing fine without you I'd rather gather a love that is true Something that is so profound A fervent love I desire the most Will there be an end to this? How do we conclude this? I've reached to a point of no return Besides my chest burning on the inside Now I shall remain We've come so far to watch it all fall apart Turn a blind eye and I'm up to a blind alley I'm off on the wrong foot, but it's all said and done I would rather bite my tongue because my eyes speak these words For the moon that never beams without bringing me dreams Love knows its own depth Guess mine was thrown into the abyss And if I knew right from the start I wouldn't come this far to build a love that was vacant

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Drowning in porcelain, stifled screaming, lungs filling. Induced feelings of surrendered innocence flood my mind. Shutting my eyes have never been the same, the comfort of my bed now a nail in my head. I'll scream these words out, squeezing all the pressure out of my lungs until I collapse My brightest colours will wither into grey I'll never forget the way things used to be or so to speak The smell of the ink that ran carelessly toward the end of the page, on the letters where you said you'd always love me, slowly fade I'm scared to wake up from this lovelorn dream knowing the ghost of you behind my eyelids remain otherwise unseen, and when i rouse I'll have to live knowing a life without you Only torment and suffering and yet nothing seems to change I wrecked my home for you, and that's fine, cause I'll build one for myself someday, starting with this fence I'm going through things I don't deserve Neither can I comprehend a divine life that we could carry through. An empty shell of a human being can't sustain Is there a point changing now because it seems it'll always stay the same Is it really true that we can't paint a perfect picture together? Even if time stood still; is it really worth it? Descending; pulled down by tangled thoughts Cant find a better home when there's a sign on every door Finding a step closer but you feel so far away A vessel heading nowhere, sick of masquerades The way the ink ran carelessly, towards the end of the page On the letters where you said you'll always love me slowly fade
