You can shackle you It’s so hungry in the dark It’s some cruel penance Unclear agony Who shows up, who walks away

Like nobody else Betrayed, broken, bruised, save me Tearing memories Farewell what I’ve done Burned to the core, heart encased

My sanctuary A dark painful resting place Alarm strikes collide Socialization An alignment or betrayed

Try not to love Must stay in touch with myself Easier to be dead Left to say nothing Left to wonder if I care

Peripeteia Safe haven turns to fortress Every kiss a lie

I have been waiting Bang bang, all over you now All lit up again Who will you run to I don’t really know me now

Going under please Hollow words like darkness spreads Winter fuels your heart

Tears fall like ashes Pain burns away the surface Life’s amnesia

Seeing through the rain Life blurred through the memories Seeing through the tears

You can shackle you It’s so hungry in the dark It’s some cruel penance Unclear agony Who shows up, who walks away

You bring life to me Paper won’t keep or make leave Shelter from the fear Heat beneath winter Troubled dreams leave me alone

Black days to blue nights Alone in a crowded room Find one like myself You betray yourself Your presence felt, I found you

As high as one can Equal to the lowest low To flow as water

Only memories Words to promises to lies The memory’s world
