In Rapture
01:30

there’s poison to the touch
(yet now i watch you)
of your saving grace
(fall from grace)
i’ve come to believe
(prematurely)
we’re all just faces
for the mistakes
of the men of our pasts
my god.
what the fuck?
blood traces the corners of my conscience
your body hidden in the blades of grass
i’m begging you, please come back
with life in your eyes.
step by step i stumbled towards the exit.
oh my god!
what have i done?
i couldn’t bear the sight
of the fear
that breathes where you lie.
(the sky is falling
& all i can do is look up.)

Man Without Fear
03:34
|
|||
|
shut eyes, open arms.
falling in love with the storm.
open your eyes. in my arms,
your failures are reborn.
wake the fuck up.
your silhouette
breaks in the wind.
leave me now.
i see the light taking me in
& tethering me to the end.
(oh god, please no. why?
my god, please no.
i don’t want to go.)

I Am With You Always
03:14
|
|||
|
i will never leave your side.
look through the glass to the end times.
we are not alone.
fear and i,
chained at the fucking hip.
she’s in our hearts, she’s in our minds.
she’s how i live.
i’m afraid to leave your side.
look to the past, to a better time.
we were never alone.
now, i will never drown again.
straight down to the ocean floor
where i first saw light.

Epilogue
02:15
|
|||
|
dead ends making no difference.
bruised hip & ego alike.
language becomes a weapon.
bullets from your lips to mine.
farewell.
this fight will not see one.
exhale.
lead exits the temple, i trust in the gun.
this is our ending.
blow it all sky high,
and fly away.

darling, say something.
we’re all bleeding out.
i can’t wake up.
darling, say something.
i can’t hear you now.
you’re on the side of angels.
you’re eyes sear like vultures.
your arms bruise my shoulders.
make way, i’m breaking out.
make way, i need to know how
not to need you.

The Sun Darkened
03:17
|
|||
|
you are the sun.
and i, the earth beneath.
if that light ever dies,
it’s your name we’ll sing.
i can’t help but wonder if you’ll ever leave.
you are the sun.
and i, the earth beneath.
your lights never lie,
and i owe you everything.
you are the sun.

We Will Not All Sleep
03:53
|
|||
|
time is the antagonist
& she pulls no punches.
i’m afraid that we’re all finite
& life will leave
no debt unpaid.
we will not all sleep.
death is not a promise
on damnation’s conscience.
i’m afraid that we’re all finite
& our mistakes
negate what’s next.
we will not all sleep.
but, maybe
one day i can breathe.
i put my eyes to the floor
& paced circles
where your feet stepped first.
when time was cautious
and kept me cradled in her arms.
before any leaf could turn,
i picked my eyes up
at the slightest sight of that
slow burn.
cause i’m still afraid as i was
before any lesson i’ve learned.
but i will not die in my own shadow
& i will not die.
