i can’t hold on to meˎ wonder what’s wrong with me .ᐣ

but who can decide what they dream .ᐣ and dream i do.

dear my loveˎ haven’t you wanted to be with me .ᐣ and dear my loveˎ haven’t you longed to be free .ᐣ

in a dreamˎ will you give your love to me .ᐣ beg my broken heart to beat.

these wounds won’t seem to heal ﹔ this pain is just too real. there’s just too much that time cannot erase.

they’ll never see ╱ i’ll never beˎ i’ll struggle on and on to feed this hunger burning deep inside of me.

i can’t keep pretending that i don’t even know you ﹔ and at sweet nightˎ you are my own.

cold and far away like you’re not even mine ╱ undo everything and take me higher.

leading you down into my core where i’ve become so numb.

chained to this fear that i will never find a way to heal my soul.

your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams ╱ your voiceˎ it chased away all the sanity in me.

blurring and stirring the truth and the lies ❪ so i don’t know what’s realˎ don’t know what’s real and what’s not ❫.

then you look at me ﹔ you’re not shouting anymoreˎ you’re silently broken.

ohˎ you better take cover ❪ nothing you can say now ❫ you underestimated my wrath.

i’d give anything now to kill those words for you.

why can’t you feel me calling your name .ᐣ can’t break the silenceˎ it’s breaking me ╱ all my fears turn to rage.

all the way down ﹔ i will hear your voiceˎ but i’ll no longer understand.

but who can decide what they dream .ᐣ and dream i do.

as empires fall to pieces ╱ our ashes twisting in the airˎ it makes me smile to know that i’m better without you.

happiness can be hard to findˎ i’m so slap—silly happy everybody wants to take mine .ᐟ

mary had a lambˎ his eyes black as coals ╱ if we play very quietˎ my lambˎ mary never has to know.

i will be more than my survival .ᐟ own these scars in my heart...

you never call me when you’re sober ╱ you only want it ’cause it’s overˎ it’s over.

however did you manage to push away from every living thing you’ve come across .ᐣ so afraid anyone will hate youˎ you pretend you hate them first.

it’s trueˎ we’re all a little insane ╱ but it’s so clear now that i am unchained.

i can’t move on ﹔ feels like we’re frozen in time.

and ohˎ i know you don’t believe in me. safe in the darkˎ how can you see .ᐣ

my love for you still growsˎ thisˎ i do for you.

i can feel the night beginningˎ separate me from the living. understanding meˎ after all i’ve seen...

long—lost words whisper slowly to me ╱ still can’t find what keeps me here.
