Tied up to the hands of time/
I was suffering through the minutes/
And you were pausing for hours/
Counting down the suns until we collide/
Left in the wake a heart to break/
No need for control this path is best enjoyed unknown/
No victor to be had/
Just whispers of sand/
No love lost/
No love found//

It took awhile to let you in/
Now I’ll do everything it takes/
To scrape your memory from my skin//

Drained my apathy across your breasts/
I’m a stray raggedy cat come to be fed/
You always find a way to keep me coming back/
But this genetic disease has me on my knees/
Rubbed my blood across your hairy chest/
I’m no stranger to the everlasting pain/
You always found a way to keep me waiting/
But today I can finally breathe//

I found your position on the continent/
You were frozen in the arctic circle/
You just can’t tell your real feelings/
From the ones that have been cast far from these shores/
As if once they were exposed the ice would melt/
You were drowning in the blue ocean/
But managed to find time to weave a tale/
In between breaths of love and trust/
Of lust and lies/
Now I see through you without even trying/
I turned my back on your disguise/
Quicken my body with a false sense of security/
It’s just another reminder of my past/
How do you feel now that I’ve stopped loving you?/
Back then I romanticized your intentions/
So many inventions of your mind that continue to fill up the shelf/
I would just fill in the blanks of your silence/
Project onto self the love that was never felt/
And watch you like a life line/
Sparked a rift, a division of bodies/
I fought so hard to stop the hole from bleeding/
But the liquid memories fell through my hands/
This battlefield of a continent was just the world we created/
You cast the first stone into the water/
And witnessed me breaking/
Without fixture, without mend/
Is this really the end?//

If you can take just one last thing with you
As your soul leaves your body at last
I just don’t want to die alone
And if that’s too much to ask
Dim my eyesight, coat my ears in glass
For all that I’ve seen and all that I’ve believed
Faulters in your very presence
I’ll take the seeds I’ve sown and the weeds
That have grown from my grave
You do your best to leave out the past
Do your best to carry on
After you carried me down into the depths of hell
And waited for your fate to take the date
Off the calendar of your resented memories
I’m going to want some answers when I die
And I know that what lies ahead is
Nothing compared to what I’ve been through
Alive alone
together forever
Untrue you
heart severed
And you know what lies ahead
Is to be the worst you’ve been through
