The Dark Place

woke up in the darkness
in a forest
or in my grave?
came to blindfolded
smelling leaves or
my decay?
and when my mind is blank
sunlight almost shines
but there's no comfort
there's no warmth
there to find
cut all of my ties
said goodbye
to dry land
bore all of my children
to the ocean
watched them drown

outsider, hiding from light
i'll enter into your night
I've loved this dark all my life
I've never felt so alive than with you
safely hide, safe in your hide
i'll crown you queen
invert your eyes
to look upon your love
oldtimer, all but decayed
until only heart remains, beating
imbuing love
your beauty never fails, never dies
and while we're here we'll make it count
make the best of the time we're allowed
this isn't life but it's close enough
I woke up when we fell in love
and if we're cursed and born to lose
at least I had a choice to choose
thank god you're here by my side
to count the days until we die

beneath the aftermath
of a war with a million casualties
there's a heart that's beating silently
as you clear the debris
i'd saved what breath I had
in the fear that it be wasted
before you came to take it away
falling through your space
you drown me like a witch
infiltrating holy lands
I give in
bleed into your cup
I bleed to fill you up
beating for your sustenance
until i'm dry
love has eaten me alive
frostbitten all over
nothing to lose
so I follow in silence
so overwhelmed to witness
a beauty fit to destroy the world
and all it holds
there's nothing pure that I can see
anymore
they're losing touch of what they are
but you stay true so I will too
i'll follow you until I die
i'm a broken shell of a woman
and I thank god that you see through
i'm a facsimile of a woman
and I thank fuck that you don't care

i hope you get famous
and a million people look up
to you like a saint
i'll spill your dirty secret
and break every one of their hearts
i hope your life's happy
because the seed of your shame
will never die
and when you're on your deathbed
i'll always be there in the back of your mind
remember a&e
and trying to convince me
that nothing was wrong?
i'd never felt such fear
you're all i'd fucking hear
when i tried to sleep
you wrote me in your song
how will they sing along
knowing what they will?

at the end of the world
we will reap what we sow
i have reason to fear
that my time has come near
i know where i'll go
is no better than here
i have wasted my life
trying to be worth your time
i have been here before
at the foot of your door
where you left me to stay
until i felt no more pain
i know where you'll go
you'll find someone like me
while i wait to be drowned
by the slight of your hand
say a prayer for me
as i reach the ocean floor
of your memory
you'll be in my thoughts
as i walk into the light
that you left behind

i've got to hand it to you
because you really fucked me this time
and it stands to reason it would come
just when i thought i'd be fine
and you can turn it all around
and shift the weight onto my head
because there's nothing i can do
no-one believes a word i say
i wish when you touch me
you'd use your fingers, not your fists
and i wish i had some charm
to inspire some feelings in you
and so it goes
you found a hole
in my defence
and so it goes
you take a shot
and i go down
see what you've made of me?

got out of bed in time
to see you off
distraught and sinking back
into my thoughts
as days go by i long
to hear your voice
but words are not forthcoming
from your mouth
and gone's the time when
time was on my side
and gone's the hope that
you might change my life
easy come, easy go
when will this end?
wish i could know
easy come, easy go
when will this end?
i'll never know

set me up for one last big fall
i'll blame everyone but you
i could never leave you
and you will never save me
"be yourself or be no-one"
is what they all told me
it drove me on a deadly path
and i think the end is near
i'm going down
you're still onboard
there's time to let go...
i used to think if i could just keep going and
i used to think if i could just keep up this lie
i'd find my place and be just like everyone else
but all they want is for me just to roll over and die
so here's where i'll end
because that's what i'll do
i may not be brave
but i stayed true
and you're surprised
i could last this long
on some plane of life
i could never belong
and i'll be back
in some abstract form
i had lived my life
just to watch you mourn
i apologised but it's not enough
all i had was pain, i deserve much worse.
