Waking up
Is all I can do
Coughing from
The dust in my lungs
Wishing you
Would just show your face
Cause I feel disgraced
Left in this place
Oh brother
What have I done
Where have you gone
Make sense of pain
Guilt stains a tight chest
A festering wound
Here to remain
Cold, soaked to the bone
A chill in my spine
It’s fine
And loves all gone
Time marches on
What can be done?
I trudge on
I put this lament on paper
I hope it seeps to your skin
Like ink to canvas
And I hope you tremble
Oh brother
What have I done
Where have you gone
Sleeping in
No alarms in my way
Dreaming
Of peace no remorse
Elation
When the sun hits my face
I wake
And turn to the next page

Breathe deeply
Reminiscent images
Race through your head
Watermarked in your smile
Giving way
To my dismay
Gentle luminescence
And worries fade
Riveting terse
Condemned
By sunburst
I steady my hands
Well rehearsed
Paint stains a verse
On a pavement canvas
I steady my hands
And I can
Smile so wide
My teeth fall out of my mouth
Giving way
To my dismay
Gentle luminescence
And worries fade
Riveting terse
Condemned
By sunburst

We've been worried
You've been gone for so long
There's no hurry
Your father wants to know
That you're okay
You see the snow blows with fury
A force so strong
And it's curious
Much like the way you hold your tongue
Much like the way you feel so numb
We miss our only son
And you've been so estranged
You're a stranger
You said keep the lights on
I'll be home soon
Yet you never show your face
Though we know you feel displaced
We just long for your embrace
It's for your father's health
You see it kills him to see you down
The drugs have taken their toll
Oh what we'd give to see you sober
Your eyes a cold steely blue
No longer radiating love like they used to
Just bitter and cold to the touch
Oh god tell me what is enough
What's enough?
I'll be home

Talk to me slowly
Clear your conscience
I will hold true
To your confidence
Calm your conscience
You will see soon
With astonishment
Hear my voice
Shouting, from the bottom of this pit
Speaking oceans
Of what I’ve done
How far
How far
Have we come
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk
Memories fade
Fade into silence
A quiet mind
Minding it’s business
You’re the whiskey in my blood
Toxic to touch
You’re the moon reaching dusk
A moon that doesn’t belong
Beaming bright and beautiful
I swear I won’t forget you
I swear I’ll try to forgive you
I swear I won’t forget you
I swear
I didn’t want to admit it
But I’ll admit this
I swear
I won’t forget you
I swear
I’ll forgive you
I swear
I won’t forget
Speaking oceans
Of what I’ve done
How far
How far
Have we come
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk

Sitting here
Planning my exit
Soothing sounds of denial
Ring in my ear
Here I am
Planning my way out
The end of my story
Draws near
Sitting here
Planning my exit
The end of my story
Draws near
Looking out the window
Watching all the happy people
Smile in the sunshine
Yet I sit here
Consumed by my devices
Vines shackle my ankles
Keeping me stagnant
Asphyxiating my motivation
I can’t stare at the sun anymore
It hurts my eyes
I can’t stare at the sun anymore
It hurts my eyes
I can’t stare at the sun anymore
It hurts my eyes
I’m too frightened
Too unenlightened
To find my way out

You were so small
With a tender love
We nourished your roots
Exposed you
To sunshine
It helped you thrive
The rains came and
Whenever you wept
We'd hold you close
You reached for sunlight
Only your canopy knows
We watched you grow
We let you know
This is your
Home
The rains came and
Whenever you wept
We'd hold you close
We let you know
This is your
Home
It poured
More than you know
It helped you grow

You’re braver
Than you believe
Stronger
Than you seem
You’re smarter
Than you think
I can't do
Nothing
Any more
You said
Where to
I say anywhere
I’ll always
Be here
When you’re
Doing Nothing
Promise you'll not
Forget about me
Ever
Even when
I’m a hundred years
Of age
Not ever
I can’t do
Nothing
Any more
You said
Where to
I say anywhere
I’ll always
Be here
When you’re
Doing Nothing

Speaking softly
Oh so awfully
Reminiscent
Do it again
Repeat the chorus
Scream it for us
Diagnosis
Medication
Keeps me begging
Breathtaking
Hands are shaking
Do it again
You can fall asleep
On my shoulder
I’ll wake you up
In the morning
You can fall asleep
On my shoulder
I’ll wake you up
When we’re home
I can tell that you’re dreaming
By the way you smile
In your sleep
Baring your teeth
Wonderful
Alive
At ease
You can fall asleep
On my shoulder
I’ll wake you up
In the morning
You can fall asleep
On my shoulder
I’ll wake you up
When we’re home
I’ll wake you up
When we’re home
