lyrics

carve your love into my psyche
unconditional
my substance wilts away
reconciliation waiting for a miracle
solitude festering in dark disease

I didn't know how to cope with it
so I gave up
and spent my life in fear
I didn't know how to ask for help
so I just buried myself in grief

a complexion molded by absence
terrified of moving on
longing to dedicate my heart to the things that are long gone
longing to dedicate my soul to your memory

your monitor flatlines every time I close my eyes
a constant frequency
signifying the end of times
your arms surround me like broken glass
but I'll learn to hold you tight

you pass through our bodies
every time the wind blows
you bloom in the spring with the flowers
when the garden grows back at home
living in the finer things
you're always close
I will never let you go
even though I'll never see your passion for the things you built
I'll hide from your judgement in somber fields
your arms surround me like broken glass
but I guess that that will have to be alright
