The chapter’s done, the pages torn The book’s turned to dust A lifetime of dreams and best intentionsHunched shoulders and sheltering waves Of copper and ivory and dusk Shielded the empty sky pouring downTake away everything I love about this pain So it won’t haunt me anymore Cut me off, cut it out So it won’t haunt me anymoreEvery heart craves closure Each more difficult than the last Else they grasp onto shreds of hope The asphyxiated deadThe heavens split open, the day’s undone The earth wrenches apart Every syllable gushing from a crumbling mindCan you escape your destiny? Do you control your own fate? Temptation’s suffocating Do you know what you’ve become?
