Almost like death

Candlelight

I'll leave you on hold, just a second, don't call back

Do wait for my word, more than seconds, please don't die

Gray clouds and moonlight paint a landscape on my wall

The brightest, blinding screen light couldn't be more dark

 

Made up a ball in the ground 

In this room that I've seen but I can't recognize

Consider my chances of finding you back

Recalling the pictures I took in real life

For none of my options, none of my plans

Can rip out the torch from my thin bleeding heart

 

May God pray for you, we never go to mass

But the church and its eyes were enough for my pride

Almost like that, your arm next to mine

Almost like that, I sense them untie

 

Awfully odd how the dream would cry

Seems like it can't tell itself apart

The weight and despair on its heart, it was mine

The weeping and grieving, the thoughts on it's head,

suicide intentions, back up plans just in case 

In case that death makes us apart

Unlike the dream one from afar
