come
sit by the fire,
stand by the mess you made then vanished like a
dove
captured unbound, crushed till the bones collapsed and punctured through your lungs

this all seems so
wrong
no need to speak, no need listen out for whispers while you
haunt
felt all around, touched every blistering face disfigured by your
touch

so foreign
so far away
this is what you get when you replace the memories
say their names out loud

leave
lost in the wake, left in a fabrication, something like a
dream
cold like the sea,
cold like the hands that stole and dragged you underneath

so foreign
so far away
this is what you get when you replace the memories
say their names out loud

these are the words that youve spent your life waiting for
and these are the hands that will end all your suffering
now that you’re here, spill your guts, we’re not asking again
leave those regrets with the body you left by the door

show us that face, make it shine, youre a miracle, darling
(youve been so forgiving, nothing like before)
hide all your loss, hold it tight, lest it fade away too
(i can feel it slipping, all these changes)
