lyrics:
If the last breath of life is to come as my surprise
Let the secret I’ve kept be the thing in me that never dies
Stayed the course and became more focused
Accidental witness still slipped by unnoticed
Make my next moment mirror the blurred line
Written on stones erodes to sands of time
people buried me for being in the hole you put me in.
Still I was never as finished as I should have been but
Your Love never pressed a kiss upon my lips
A mouth never heals when once it completely rips
I’ll reach up and wave my fingers through the lingering cloud
stand here in this evaporated riverbed and act like I’m proud.
To scatter misty milk pixels from crystals you light
A new girl pushes through from a distant star light
I’ll be satisfied when I’ve forgotten
How much I pretended to savor what tasted so rotten
You hid the keys deceived and split me and left me for dead
You had the option to drop in on one of the other lives that you led.
Dismissed the rich silk I was spinning into a dress
Shaped exactly for you but you resisted it and stayed a mess.
