“You had your chance”

The stillness answered

And my heart broke

Like everyone else's

“In the state that you're in

It all adds up to nothing”

Escapes within

Where you can see perfectly in the dark

Where distance doesn't matter

Because you're chained inside

From speak to spoken

From break to broken

Ubiquitous neglect

Shape shifting through time

Invalidates intimacy

In thesе desperate momеnts of life

“These eyes will deceive you!

Can't you feel it breathing?”

Oh yes, I do –

And I remember everything

But nothing heals and hurts like time

Until names are just a broken sound

“To hell with our lives”

Spoke a silence within the silence

And with a knife of silver it released my heart

With not one promise left to break

It all came down to this:

A nightmare you keep waking up into
