about

a story of being visited by Death, Pt I

Stay strong

lyrics

If I scream into these sheets when I’m alone
Does it make some kind of sound
With no one here to hear it tearing through my throat

If I raise my eyes to see a silken robe
As dark as starless night
Do I still have a say in when it's time to go

I just can’t care anymore

Should my footsteps fall without pause towards the end
How sufficient was my love
More or less than final words between two friends

“You are a home to me” is what you always said
So in this quiet, empty place
All I can ask is if I stopped giving you that

Sorry I’m so absent
I’m just so scared anymore
Feels like someone’s going to pull the fucking floor
Sorry I’m so quiet
I just can’t talk anymore
Every word drives the blade deeper than before
I’ve been so scared of failing
I just can’t care anymore

There is a point at which sleep is more for shelter than rest
I cannot speak any healing, pummeled and out of breath
I cannot make you believe that I love you to death
I cannot spread any hope if I don't have any left

Light bursts from the side when my hand stings my face
And it doesn't chase the darkness I've created away
And it doesn't change the way you will remember my name
I fucking promise it's me, I fucking swear I'm the same
Sat reclined, driver’s side, and the rain understood
I can’t be rid of my bad, I can’t be rid of my good
I cannot choose which parts of me are misunderstood
I can choose which parts of me die underfoot, yeah
