Calling back, time has passed

I’ve looked back, into my thoughts

With empty eyes staring at clocks

I had the energy to be

But intrusive thoughts blister me

Collections of memories

Bleeding through my white t-shirt

I wish I could fix this

But I walk in reverse, I'm no longer me

The ocean of light

But I’m a puppet, the man without sight

The waves, they call unto me

Shadowfall has been here and taken me beneath

You know, I followed the steps

Everything you laid out for me

But why do I fall down

Begging to be free

I’m oppressed

This should not sink

But here I lay red eyed, empty and weak

I listen to the wind

Cool and collected, the sounds we make on repeat

Ready to be alone, release me from my throne

A ton of weight would float above

Float away with me

I’m trying to remember what it was we said

Was it something I promised you?

A day to come to bed?

I’ll lie to myself

Just a feeling I’ll forget

It hurts me to even look your way

The only one that faked this was your name

You even tried to tell me everything was okay

I'm disgusted at the thought of remaining awake

For your sake please just forget me

Calling back, time has passed

I’ve looked back, into my thoughts

With empty eyes staring at clocks

I had the energy to be

But intrusive thoughts blister me
