lyrics

Silent, frozen still,
And nothing dares to touch
Except the hiss of pulling thread,
As the stitching comes undone.

There’s a new tear in my lip.
The knot is always slipping.
Calmly pin the cloth
To keep the blood from dripping.

Press upon the skull
To keep the mind from skipping.
Press upon the heart
To forget all that’s missing.

Am I even listening?

I’ll dream of it’s shadow,
But I may never see it.
I’ll close my eyes to feel its warmth,
But wake up cold.
I’ll dream of it’s breath,
But I’ll never feel it on my neck.
Tensions unresolved,
My name upon the stone.

I’ll never let it go.

Strip the insides from the pen.
Let it never spill ink again.
The paper is always blank,
And the words always left unsaid.
