lyrics

shadows bathe the floor of this forsaken room, in which the dust has settled way too soon / I can't see you through all these shades of self / it's not indifference, just the warmth of having your head so far underground. we should have fled this weather a year ago / the air is slowly flooding my lungs / as words drip from my lips / and the truth lies therein / I see now. you know, I need you most when I am overtaken by fear. I know I'm not where you need me to be / there is no current beneath the seam / my fall colors fading, wait here with me. calm me down, I don't want to put my head over ground. I'd love to share in your innocence / lay down these arms, retire my defense / I'm a featherweight at making sense of this mess / none of us will weather this storm by playing dead. what you are, I'll never be.
