You pulled a sliver of hope
And left it without a name
Guests and partners and parasites
Feeling the same
If you can think of a reason
If you can scrape up a reason
To look the other way
You wanted them to follow you
Out on the field
Tried to break off a stare
But you've stolen the will
To conceit and depress
To the point of defect
We try the best we can to avoid
A natural death
You wanted me to keep it alive
But it's sleeping in an open wound
Hit so hard I couldn't stand up
I keep dreaming of the time apart
We tread a cold heaven
Scraping our feet
On the backs of the demons freezing
The voices so much louder in the snow
With all the weight of a dream
Fill up the void with a lie
Shove it to the edge of the world
I turned back halfway across
Just dreaming of the time apart
