A hidden depth to burden endlessly

Golden memories and sainthood

And the following fall through

For a certain certainty

Of what the end of this will be

There's a weight that rests here

And underneath innocence

Rising up, raised to confront

Imperfections shining through

Where I wanted to hold you

It's defective, let us leave it

In perished walls and ceilings

Uncompromising

Torn and crushed

So cold but pure

So long

Granted, I'm plagued

Left untreated and empty

Demanding breath and being

Carved always and binding

These ordered occasions, a flowing entity

Is drifting back to me

Locked in a farewell with what I've caused

With what I forced

These similarities, ever-present in their might

Weathered with dismay, the irreversible and eternal

Overthrown, those sins do not pardon your own

Woven into veins

No binding can fray

It's pressed into these bones

No bonds here will break

Links along a chain

It's pressed into these bones
