Stay

For the last four years I've lived with your shadow over my head
Your phantom has been tucked away
But still the thought of your stirs inside my mind
And I know there's nothing I can do to bring you back
Or change the past
But if I keep going on this way
Dredging up the failures of what I once considered happiness
This concept of myself wont last
I need to give up your ghost
Find a way home
Break this mould
Bring back what I need most
A sense of shelter
An escape from this cold
And I never felt like I belonged to this earth
But you're the one that was taken away
And I wish you could stay
I wish you'd have stayed
But it was never meant to be
More than a distant memory
And I can't find sleep
Without you in my mind

I've let melancholy settle through my skin
The daily cycle begins
Self-deprecating
I'm left decaying
The fragile shell of thoughts remains within
Why can't I justify the notion of being able to clear my mind
Of all the thoughts you'd left with me
That I'm too scared to hide
I was alone
Fracture my home
That much i know
Drag me down
Burn your name into my tongue
Allow what's passed to be undone
My pain is my own
There's nothing left and I'm still alone
To give myself the life that you denied me
Well I need to change
Why can't I escape the dark
The black floods in
Consumes my thoughts
And I am left to drown
I've romanticized my cynicism in a way that I can't place
So much time spent fearing what my future holds, but I know I won't change
I need to fucking change
Force me to cross that point
And let go of the past that binds me
Step out of your shadows
And find my own light
It's time that I
I escaped the dark
Digging back through faded memories
Just another thing I've lost
Well the flood has levelled
My thoughts my own
I won't be shackled down
I refuse to drown

Autumn

I find it hard to breathe in the same air these days
I'm struggling to find sleep
Now knowing that the same fear still lurks within me
When the lights go out
And I cant seem to shake this pain in my chest
Knowing that one day all that will remain of us
Are memories through soft spoken tongues
Returning to ash or restarting a cycle
Bloom or fall
Bloom or fall
For as long as I've remembered
I've always been the lucky one
Bleeding flowers from my gums
Now there's a thorn in my tongue
The only thing I've ever known was torn from my reach
Now the roses from my skull are wilting
I'm struggling to breathe
I only wanted to break the blue
But I'm struggling
I'm struggling to pull through
Help me understand why I feel this way
I wanted to clear my conscience
Be free from pain
Tear my roots apart
Free me from myself
Tear my roots apart
Tear my thorns out too
Don't let me rot with my thoughts
And I pick each petal at a time
What I'd give to rest with you once again
Don't leave me here
Out in the cold
Don't let me wilt
Don't let me wilt
Just a flower left
Out in the cold
(Out in the cold)
I deserve more than this
And so did you my dear
But rot together or rot apart
We'll both decay
One petal at a time
One petal at a time
