It ain’t a white light, just a black night, and a long flight to nowhere
I feel her cold claws, blood filled warm jaws, death’s the one law I still follow
It’ll be an empty dawn, when my last breath is drawn
there is nothing beyond this hollow earth
And I’m afraid that every one know has seen right through me for years
Or that everyone I have ever loved has loved someone else in my place
And that by opening my mouth to speak I will break everything
I will break everything
I cut myself from the vine, figure it’s about time I quite lying to everyone I love
I’ve worked so hard for years, held off my mother’s tears, all of her worst fears grown and multiplying
I could suspend disbelief, delay all this grief, but I’m think that faith has already dulled all my senses
I’m afraid that everyone I know has seen right through me for years
Or that everyone I’ve ever loved has loved someone else in my place
And that by opening my mouth to speak I will break everything
I will break everything
So take me on the long way home
70 something years with rusting bones
Minute after minute I wait just to know
there was nothing past this lead and stone
no, there never was hope
And on lonesome nights, after blood drawn fights, I wonder if I should die so far from home
But then she calms me down, makes me watch the ground that I once stood as it floats into the sea
Your plastic blood and fire, your whole earth’s desire to find yourself some wrathful holy end
But life is a finite thing, no angles sing, the skies won’t open up to bring you home
It’s just one last breath, one last truth called death, then return to the soil just like your father
and i’m afraid everyone i know has seen right through me for years or that everyone that i have ever loved has loved someone else in my place and that by opening my mouth to speak i will break everything.
