Hiraeth

Come
Sit by the fire
Stand by the mess you made then vanished like a dove
Captured unbound, crushed till the bones
Collapsed and punctured through your lungs

This all seems so wrong
No need to speak
No need to listen out for whispers while you haunt
Felt all around
Touched every blistering face disfigured by your touch

So foreign
So far away
This is what you get when you replace the memories
Say their names out loud

Leave
Lost in the wake, left in a fabrication
Something like a dream
Cold like the sea
Cold like the hands that stole
And dragged you underneath

I can hear you're whispering
Nothing getting through to me

So foreign
So far away
This is what you get when you replace the memories
Say their names out loud

These are the words that you've spent your life waiting for
And these are the hands that will end all you're suffering
Now that you're here to spill your guts, we're not asking again
Leave those regrets with the body you left by the door

Show us that face, make it shine, you're a miracle, darling
(You've been so forgiving, nothing like before)
Hide all your loss, hold it tight, lest it fade away too
(I can feel it slipping; all these changes)

All these changes
All these changes
All these changes
All these changes
All these changes
