Ashen

Barred behind the broken Chained to the invisible Feel its grip tighten How long has it been? How long? Leaden eyes Lurk through blinds The world in bloom Suspire once more When will my bones finally give? Bend and break Distort Contort What shape have we formed? Barred behind the broken Chained to the invisible Feel its grip tighten The weight of loss is whole Feigned existence echoes Forgotten are the blissful days Bygone, Benign Basked in the afterglow of youth Remembrance grows cold Throats aflame Tongues ashen Consumed Bygone, Benign Bygone, Benign Bygone, Benign What shape have we formed? Our throats aflame Our tongues ashen We are consumed
