Haunted Lives

Lately I’ve been feeling as though
Death is creeping ever close
One can only hold out for so long
Before everything thing around has gone
It’s a curse that runs deep, a staggering fear
Don’t leave me the last one standing
Hopeless and choked, voice too muffled to hear
Without mercy, won’t allow my ending
I can’t take that weight of remaining
Such burdens would prove crippling
The wounded holding confusion so angering
Their voices were still trying to sing
Far too young to be clinging to all this guilt
Foundations for haunted lives
In the wake, more bodies drowning still
Broken kids left to their own devices
See the rubble, ruins of a brighter time
Who could have seen an end like this?
Cursed are the good, blessed are the blind
I’m still screaming for the dead and missed
I would take their place
So I didn’t have to feel their loss
Just let me take their place
They don’t know that heaven is lost
Death, don’t leave me alone
I’ve watched you take all that I’ve known
I’ve spent each yearning night
Hoping for your touch to reach my own
Don’t have strength to see more leave
A heart so hollowed out in grief
Put the light back in their eyes
I’m ready, I’m ready, bring the end of me

Nothing to me
So I’m nothing to anyone
These thoughts
are the makes of my dreams
But every day I’m awake
In a stranger place
My words in code
so I don’t end up alone
Too afraid of what
I could become
The steering wheel could so easily slip
Taking my words,
you’ve so quickly misread
Leave the void,
leave them all for dead
No depth to my words
No truth to my actions
I don’t need you
I don’t
Cling to me
So I can cut your rope
Sing of freedom
As I nod along
I will keep following cues
I will keep taking your steps
I will keep darkening nights
Drown you out in deadlight
Deadlight
