Oceans Of Orchid Ruin

Weaving between echoes
Ripples that wash us away
Oceans of orchid ruin
And I can still recall
Anomalous fingers
Noxious sting which now lingers
Latching onto every word
Catching us as we fall

Learned to play the strings
Dollish broken things
We do what we have to, to survive this
And I can still see
Glimpsed eternity
This burning bridge I failed to let go of

I can feel cold shadows
Tainting our last embrace
Your warmth starts turning hollow
As they hide your face
I press on searching for blue skies, as you breathe
What's dead never dies, just lives in me

Riddles to conceal truth
I know you won't believe
Capsized like a ship
Sinking through my teeth
On this coast I remain, stranglehold by my name
I will atone, but I don't have to all alone.
