What I’m listening to...


You're my defense when I'm bleeding
You followed me through hell and back
Cover me in gold when I need it
Waiting for the mourning to be over
But it's all I have now

(You make me feel homesick)
 

At the mantle of the heart
A river flows inside
We drain ourselves in steady streams
Until the river runs dry

At times, these tides define us
Deny us of ourselves
A finite source of optimism
That leaves a hollow shell

And as the seasons pass
And winter's numbing cold gives way to pain
We light these fires to sit beside
As we pray like hell for rain

At the hour before the dawn
The last embers burn 'til day
It's all I hang my hope upon
You can't take that away from me

Every morning in the mirror I see
My worst enemy reflected in me
'Cause I'm a born unbeliever, a cynical soul
I can only trust as far as I see

But every time I close my eyes
I'm who I used to be (who I used to be)
I never thought I'd feel so cold
Until the fire faded out in me
 

We hurt ourselves for fun
Force-feed our fear until our hearts go numb
Addicted to a lonely kind of love
What I wanna know

Is how we got this stressed out
Paranoid
Everything is going dark
Nothing makes me sadder than my head

I'm running outta teardrops
Let it hurt 'til it stops
I can't keep my grip
I'm slipping away from me

Oh, God, everything is so fucked
But I can't feel a thing
The emptiness is heavier than you think
 

Seeker, breathe all the love you can find
All I need I find in me all along
Seeker, breathe all the love you can find
Hold on and let go, I'll wander on
Seeker, breathe all the love you can find

Hold on and let go, I'll wander on
 

Was it your choice to break the promises you made
In a voice that quaked with apprehension?
I thought I knew you, I thought you knew me too
The grave that you dug is not deep enough for two
And I don’t owe shit to you
I’m running out of reasons not to keep you so…

Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote it not too late
I’ll never understand the things you’ve faced
The path you had to take
Time won’t slow
If you could see these words before you go
I swear I’ll never sleep until I know
That you have finally found a place to rest
And the weight is off your chest
As you waste away

You're a ghost
You’re a ghost to me
You fucking let me down

Why can’t you let me be?

Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote it not too late
I'll never understand the things you've faced
The path you had to take
Can't you see? (Some things cannot be concealed)
Please know I never wanted you to leave (We will succumb to the wounds we never heal)
I'll bleed from every pore just to believe (I hope you find a place to rest)
That you got what you sought in your last breath

Some dignity in death (In your death)
