Still my heart, cease the beating quickened by.
Your passing grace.
Better to fix my gaze ahead and forget, forget everything.
For now
just keep on walking, swallow the words back.
Down and pray for nothing.
Steel myself and melt back into the shadows.
Continue down this
lonely path, where love and joy fear to tread.
An island of strength
free from all feeling.
For now just keep on walking.
Swallow the
words back down and pray for nothing.
Easier to just let go, then to
fight and lose.
An idea too lofty to hold onto.
All these nights
awake spent staring at these walls.
All these feelings I've tried so
hard to quell.
I hold my breath and try to force it away.
Clenching my fists, gritting my teeth.
Waiting for the new day
to come and dispel these clouds away.
A sky of dim prospect, to grim to
behold.
I'll bow my head and plow forward.
Carve my heart
out from my ribs.
Trap it in a box and throw away the key.
If I
told you where I hid it.
You'd only use it to destroy me.
My
nerves long dead, turned to dust from lack of use.
I've forgot
what it's like to bask in hopes warm light.
Still my heart, cease
the beating quickened by.
Your passing grace.
Better to fix my
gaze ahead and forget, forget everything.
