Fragile Limbs

(album: You're Not You Anymore - 2017)

Dissolving in small oceans
Responsible for concentrating currents
To match a pulse in us that no longer exists
Resurfacing only when we're running out of air

Apprehensive from our absent-heartedness
Spitting blood from confidence confessed
Inducing dreams in which we never met
To rid myself of regret

We were a pair of fragile limbs
Too weak to carry us to bed
Stretched so thin but somehow
Burning at both ends

Foreshadowing the pain of transferring dead weight
While we can barely stay awake
A self inflicted severance will seal our fate
Let it die
We had to let this die

Apprehensive from our absent-heartedness
Spitting blood from confidence confessed

We were a pair of fragile limbs
Too weak to carry us to bed
Stretched so thin but somehow
Burning at both ends

Dissolving in small oceans
Like the salt into our wounds
To match the pulse in us
That no longer exists

We were a pair of fragile limbs
Too weak to carry us to bed
Stretched so thin but somehow
Burning at both ends
