Our Somewhere Else

When I'm asleep
There is splendour in silence
The fragrance of your skin defies mere time
Here in our somewhere else

And when I sleep
Sorrow isn't welcome here
The sparkles in our eyes might taste like rain
Here in our somewhere else

But when I wake
In brilliance of a new mourning
I find myself in yester dust's embrace
In vain I reach for you

And when I wake
Abandoned
I cannot count the days I've tried to heal
Since you're gone

I am too far gone
Beyond return
Heal me
End my disease

If we live or if we fall apart is servant to your call
Kill me with your keen goodbye, or cure me with your smile
Either way, I know we'll stay forever ours
When I'm awake

Everything seems so distant
Can't find myself while gathering the shards
I feel like someone else
I seem to live

I reckon
This pain can be outsuffered after all
But then I fall asleep
And you kill every illusion

My mind cannot restrain the truth no more
Every cell burns for you
In cruel sleep
Remembering

You wash away the days I've tried to heal
Since you're gone
I am too far gone
Beyond return

Heal me
I couldn't always be there
I couldn't always keep you safe
Just once, I closed my eyes and

Just a tiny scratch I missed
And when I looked again I found
It was a breach I could not mend

It was too late to save us
The rift took us apart, took you away
Heal me
