Unraveled

The permeating smell of dead flowers penetrates the seemingly endless fog And for a moment, ever so briefly, I can catch my breath, but The air is not pure and I am not cured of this condition I've got Cunning and baffling - all of this is happening at once The time it takes to raise the stakes Can cut your heart just like a blade And now you unravel The mind it aches to contemplate and comprehend The more I mend the more I unravel And I turned from what I learned to practice what I know The fire that once burned now is ember's glow Nothing feels like hope The memories, they torment me - the past cannot be ran away from A year has passed and all that I ask is for my heart to stand firm What once was all, there's nothing left - the love inside of me is gone I cannot afford to open those doors that you slammed into my face The time it takes to raise the stakes Can cut your heart just like a blade And now you unravel The mind it aches to contemplate and comprehend The more I mend the more I unravel And I turned from what I learned to practice what I know The fire that once burned now is ember's glow Nothing feels like hope And if I was meant to feel this way Well, I'd never want to be meant at all And if I was born to be this way I never asked to be born at all And now you unravel I'll make this quick I feel like a failure I feel like a prick I will make you know Who I am Somehow
