Persephone

(album: Willowbank - 2017)

I've arrived here on the floor
Climbing up the walls and I think I've been caught
Take my words for when we're away
I tell them to my back almost every day

I could never wait, so I'm in the divide
Every interchange sits alone in my mind
Can't you just explain when you see me alive?
Show me you're restrained by a similar vice

I never thought that I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
We're always thinking I would see this right
You know that I'd run and hide
If you'd ever let me try

I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's no wonder if I let you go
The disappointment that dissolves my means
You know what it means to me
We can keep on recklessly

In the dark, a method of choice
I'm busting through the roof to the sound of the void
Get a text from Abbey Vares
She can keep my lies, hidden under her head

I don't think a lot as I'm rushing around
I could call you up and then see you in town
All that we'd forgone, never seemed un-avowed
Tell me it's enough when you're pulling me down

I never thought that I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
We're always thinking I would see this right
You know that I'd run and hide
If you'd ever let me try

I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's no wonder if I let you go
The disappointment that dissolves my means
You know what it means to me
We can keep on recklessly

You were the best one who cared
Then you took more than a quarter
Everything here is too weird
But I feared that you're here
And not under the slaughter

I never struggled to be on my own
No wonder that I let you go
The disappointment that was plain to see
That was what it meant to me
When you shook me endlessly

I never thought that I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
We're always thinking I would see this right
You know that I'd run and hide
If you'd ever let me try

I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's no wonder if I let you go
The disappointment that dissolves my means
You know what it means to me
We can keep on recklessly
