Tendered In Blood (+2)

Disbursing our lives in a state of malaise,

scars become currency

—for debts still unpaid

The Reunion

 

The closer we get to yesterday,

the farther away I feel

 

The longer you stay within my reach,

the more distant I become

 

Memory lane a withering dream

from a time the past has claimed

 

Trading those things I used to want

—for what tomorrow brings

Tu Dolebis

 

Don’t make things lighter

by clipping your wings

The jet stream is calling,

 truth in the wind

 

Drop the excuses,

there’re reasons to blame

You can’t kill the darkness

—banning the flame
