I picture your face after so long (for so long) like it was yesterday...
Breathe in (breathe in) a moment of clarity before I drop into my daily turmoil
This page holds a never-ending story and I can't remember when I began
Writing and dreaming and hoping that one day everything will be as it was...
Cold to the touch, everything is sleeping
Unwinding these threads makes it all fall apart
I move with your every sway, trust me I do this
Without a thought or regret
Run... Whose arms will hold me?
Rest... Whose eyes will watch over me?
Engulfed in smoke, wrapped in ashes
Believe me when I try to speak
Some words are really hard to say
It's difficult to reconcile with fear
Accepting what's not really there
Afraid of every glitch and stare
Everything is just too hard to bear
Witness the coming storm
Kneel before the apparitions of hope
Bless this day and all of its ache
Curse myself for being so weak
Mercy, I beg with hand in hand (we bare the same name)
Mercy, I beg
Words die out before they fall from my tongue
Eyes run dry before I can shed a tear
Walking on embers from the moment I awake
Can you forgive me for staying alive?
If only
My visions
Could speak...
If they did
Would I
Understand?
Engulfed in smoke, wrapped in ashes
Salvage words and bite your tongue
Or get them pushed back in your lungs
Catch a glance of my proud eyes
I got my share of lows and highs
It’s not about what I decide
Inside a cage I’m not truly alive
Mercy, mercy I beg with hand in hand (we bare the same name)
Mercy, I beg
Words die out before they fall from my tongue
Eyes run dry before I can shed a tear
Walking on embers from the moment I awake
Can you forgive me for staying alive?
Inhaling the stale air leaves me numb
To let go is still too far too soon.
Stamped with your life...
