Searching

Forever falling into your open arms
But you never catch me before I come to harm
And as I awake I'm faced once again
The nightmare's just starting, the light is creeping in
My body's weighed down, arising is routine
As I try desperately to be seen
But I'm always searching
I'm hoping you'll find me
Invisible offering
Shut myself off, an act of contempt
Clinging to shadows is all I can attempt
But these four walls begin to close in
The seasons are changing, the ice is getting thin

Descent

I only want what's best for you
Promises are broken
Old sores splitting open
Unsightly truths are spilled out
Your gaze can't be held
The dreaded hurt that you've felt
An agonising moment
The words start to set in
The actions I'm regretting
You've drifted out too far from shore
How did you get here?
You're drowning, you need air
And I begin to descend
Cascading, collapsing down
Can I climb back from here?
As I continue to descend
This sheer face, this fatal edge
Can I climb back from here?
Now drapes are closed and lights are out
Punish the sinner
Feel the hurt within her
And I begin to lust for cures
Plastic blue vials
Corrosive denials

Shiver

As I walk home
My heart tells me let go
It's overblown
No one would miss me so
Stripped to the bone
My heart tells me let go
The bird has flown
You wouldn't miss me so
I need to understand why
I'm never on your mind
I throw myself at you but
You are disinclined
I forgive all your flaws and
I embrace all your lies
I play the part so weakly
You see right through my eyes
I watch you all so closely
I wish I could transform
I'd be how you want me
You'd make me deformed
Your words are all so empty
Your actions all so vain
Your hollow callous viewpoints
I want you all the same
I know it makes no
Sense to feel this way
And I know that I should just
Turn my back away
And everyone says that
You're to blame for
All the hurt that I feel but
I love you anyway

Moments

Watch them pass you by
Count every moment
There's no better luck next time
They can't all be right
Was I like this as a child?
Counting the moments
In every choice that lead me here
Simply and honestly
These days I can't seem to take away my doubts
It's you that made every moment count
I want you around
Filling the moments
They won't go to waste this time
I know I'll be different
And as I speak time seems to slip away
I wish it would stop for just one day

Unforeseen

The foulest stench
Arises from below
The omen of death
From the carrion crow
Lights are all out
The door is sealed
Waiting for the truth
To be revealed
How can people know
When I'm a shadow?
Would it really be so unforeseen?
An icy cold draught
Hits you like a shot
A stillness hangs
Not soon to be forgot
With baited breath
You hesitate
This grisly find
Can it wait?
On a silent night
Kept you out of sight
Lengths already passed
Search begins at last
