Wayward
I go to sleep,
With a heavy heart.
Sinking my body into this bed.
Where is rest?
Battle after battle
The fight persists
I can't shake the tiredness
My bones are giving way under me
I'm clutching at straw
I no longer have the steam to go on
You survived
Because she loved you
I couldn't brake my ribcage open
For anyones idea of love to get thru
Its a constant shade of night
My eyes no longer know light
Without kindness human beings die
Who do I reach out to
Everyones a stranger
God is a memory
That cannot console me
I've been going thru the motions
Running on empty
Don't feel anything
And it scares me
Wrap me in your arms
I want to sleep again
Keep me save from harm
I want to breath again
The bleeding doesn't stall
Distract me with eyes,that know my pain
Weave your sweet smell around me.
Take me home again.
With a heavy heart.
Sinking my body into this bed.
Where is rest?
Battle after battle
The fight persists
I can't shake the tiredness
My bones are giving way under me
I'm clutching at straw
I no longer have the steam to go on
You survived
Because she loved you
I couldn't brake my ribcage open
For anyones idea of love to get thru
Its a constant shade of night
My eyes no longer know light
Without kindness human beings die
Who do I reach out to
Everyones a stranger
God is a memory
That cannot console me
I've been going thru the motions
Running on empty
Don't feel anything
And it scares me
Wrap me in your arms
I want to sleep again
Keep me save from harm
I want to breath again
The bleeding doesn't stall
Distract me with eyes,that know my pain
Weave your sweet smell around me.
Take me home again.
