A different shade of a familiar color I don't have the strength to Suffer under the weight of yet another Ending where I could lose you Adrift at sea, on splintered reeds The rope that keeps us tethered It's coming unwound, don't let me drown I can't hold it all together The fire is gone, we dance upon The family of embers that remain Blistered feet, we grit our teeth Pretending we aren't smoldering away Married an illusion Buried in delusion Varied comprehension Emptied with depression The gentle wind, it kissed your skin And lifted you along beneath its breath Away it flew, and took from you The words you couldn't find before your death The seeds below can never grow The holes you dug, so bloody and so deep The peace you found, laid in the ground Buried far below our grieving feet Married an illusion Married an illusion
