From The Gossamer

(album: Haunted Gardens - 2019)

You just shut me out
Yeah, well, I shut everybody out. Don't take it personally. It's just easier
It's also really lonely

I'm pantomiming death to stay afloat when I'm not with you
Trapped in spiderweb blankets woven from the gossamer
I made my manias change into azaleas
That bloomed from all the wounds I never knew that you could save me from
Agony in panoramic cannot find the panacea
Singing rhapsodies of peace pieces of me atrophied
A shattered galaxy we were at an apogee
A masterpiece reminding me of things I had but cannot be
Dear depression you robbed me of my essence
Taught me that I'm ugly with autopsies of my efforts
Ever since the day I saw my God upon a stretcher
I followed all mirages while I'd fall apart in increments
And crawled across the desert just to talk to all the string puppets
Suffered through the small talk blanket statements small-pox
I'm sinking in
My Corpse is always covered in your fingerprints
I dream I'm in Elysium but wake up to the same

And at night sing me a lullaby hey
I see the light in your solemn eyes
I protect from the world if I can
We weren't meant for a normal life
