Wither

Break Fade away Silent & flawed What are you now? So breathe Breathe in decay Claw at my skin My broken love This joy in us Buried down These cruel hands We keep, for now sear out these eyes & drown these thoughts Our barren dreams Our empty hearts I crawl in your throat A stain on your lips The soil on your tongue Strangers compelled by restraint Steady the night That I carve out your name On the walls of this cage Patient, I wait Succumb to the blinding sun Breaking through But spared for you What else can be left behind? What are you now? Molded in weakness & cold, hard mistakes This mask is your shelter When there's nothing to take There's no room for tears. not anymore A span in the darkness A chain in the night We're stray constellations Gasping in unison Ever collapsing & falling apart Blinded & suffering Gaze to the floor Starved of all comfort & clawing your way down Someone believe's that there might be something else So wither Breathe in the decay Claw at my skin My fallen star Wither & fade away These cruel hands All that we are
