Beats bare
Just like sandpaper
It is relief
From the cold of the air and the still greater chill within
My fate is my face
If I make it through just one more year
Without losing this ever-fading grin
Twitch the corners of my mouth
Sprinting downwards this losing race
Until the leaves return
I hope it still feels the same
When it's gone
When the shadows cease to follow
Will I be a man?
Am I worthy of that label?
But as for now
The greyness of the outside
Just reflects
It mirrors me alive
No
It hasn't felt the same
These past four fucking years
I know the warming air
Won't truly alight my heart
But it's better to hope for the hopeless
Than for nothing at all
Gives me something to believe in;
If I could see you I'd give you my tears
Gives me something to believe in;
Bottled as if a quaint commodity
Gives me shelter leaves me bleeding;
Something to stop me from sleeping
Every minute of the day
And save me from the atrophy
Faded initials encased in a heart
Carved into the side of a fallen tree
Summer again and this world stands still in my heart Beats bare Just like sandpaper It is relief From the cold of the air and the still greater chill within My fate is my face If I make it through just one more year Without losing this ever-fading grin Twitch the corners of my mouth Sprinting downwards this losing race Until the leaves return I hope it still feels the same When it's gone When the shadows cease to follow Will I be a man? Am I worthy of that label? But as for now The greyness of the outside Just reflects It mirrors me alive No It hasn't felt the same These past four fucking years I know the warming air Won't truly alight my heart But it's better to hope for the hopeless Than for nothing at all Gives me something to believe in; If I could see you I'd give you my tears Gives me something to believe in; Bottled as if a quaint commodity Gives me shelter leaves me bleeding; Something to stop me from sleeping Every minute of the day And save me from the atrophy Faded initials encased in a heart Carved into the side of a fallen tree Explain Request ×
