Wishing Well

(album: Shine & Fade - 2022)

Borrow a mask to pretend
Two faced til the end
Progress is time so slowly
Brace for the now until then
A place you can mend
Burrowing down beneath my skin

You've killed me before
But still I let you in
I bet you'll do it again

Patiently
You crawl under the surface
Down beneath my skin
Take from me
When you're feeling hopeless
Find the shine within

Burst my heart

You are not the only part
I'll pick up the pieces when
You crawl under my skin

Break my bones
I am not the only friend
You broke into pieces when

The ice was wearing thin

So break my fucking bones

Fake my final breath
Birth til death
Shine until I fade

Fake my final breath
Birth til death
I'll blame no-one by myself
For every wish that never came true
And you

Patiently
You crawl under the surface
Down beneath my skin
Take from me
When you're feeling hopeless
Find the shine within

Find the shine within

Every coin in my wishing well
Has stories to tell
Sing me to sleep

Every light on my carousel
Drag me through hell
Sing me to sleep

Patiently I count
Every coin in my wishing well
Has stories to tell
Sing me to sleep

Shine until I fade
Every light on my carousel
Drag me through hell
Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep
