Linen Whispers

Rip a hole in the winds heart.. Try and force me back It’s getting to the point.. Where I want to wash it all away. Take step after step into the ocean.. So much could be hidden here With all this water.. I know..  it will wash me away. Think about the scorched bodies.. On the sidewalks. How they once held love.. How so much could’ve been saved. We’re stuck in this place... Without a name, Without a map. We’ve gotta go home. I looked in the mirror today And saw something.. That put such fear in my heart. I saw... where I’m going. Waiting for a sign from God. And it seems like that man.. That was always there to make it better... Is gone. The screams Are heard all around.. But my audience is so used to it. They say “He’ll be okay” See your lips move.. But I’m not too sure I know What you speak of. Cause I can’t read lips.. Join the nocturne Make love to a demon Forget anything of your reality Why do we try and escape.. From what holds us so close.. That world. Full of insecurity. I’m scared to take a step forward.. The ground may fall out from under me. I see a tear But know I’m wishing for it to fall.. To take this away.. Like you all did. Made me forget About the nothingness of it all. You’re the reason, I can still watch a sun rise.. I’ve spoken of it, So many times before.. But that mercury mirror on the wall Haunts, and intrigues me. Feel it all.. Lapse into the past. Soft and gentle, Like linen whispers in your ear. Fall so gently, It’s all gonna end... And you don’t have a care in the world. Maybe thats why I loved your eyes.. So much. Haven’t seen ‘em in awhile. But I doubt I could do anything. Look at me.. Worse than before. Pulsing, Off in the distance. I know my heart is far... But my soul.. No clue if its here or not. Cry some more fake tears And wish those three seconds Could bring me up.. Just a little. I’ll always love you.. All... For making me forget. For awhile. Don’t take it for granted Remember, All those memories. Running through the town.. I wish it was night again. And we could dash down the streets Wish you could make me forget Again. Would it all be better If we were somewhere else? I wish.. For those linen whispers to come back. But it’s hard to miss something, So bad.. For so long.kinda long and rambling.. oh well.
