Drown
Weather away the endless oak trees and drown the promise in the sea
Hold the minute, pause just for once, everything is burning around me
Like frozen eyes upon the dead man’s wish and his hands are hot but his heart is cold
I cannot breathe, I’m choking in the air, moving too fast yet slow, Hold today- just hold
When I am I, you the fool how can things turn
How are we when you’re cold, I’m frozen and everything burns
The new moon has engulfed the riches of the night and bathes in the black
O darkness come O darkness go and I am left with all I know yet all I lack
Did I dive into the sea and kept my eyes from the sun and my throat from the air
Did you pull me under, sweet words, sweet demands- all to one to yet another to care
Abide too young, mind too old
Cease dearest, minute to hold
And in your sadness, in the mess, you are dead and I am in strain
Release the failed yesterday, and forget to begot tomorrow- release the dove from the pain
Stand beside the canyon and let yourself fall down
Don’t save me now dearest- Let me drown
