/Complex]

That one promise I made to you
Dead potential, shoved to the void
All my thoughts, pouring to closed ears
Is there nothing to do, nothing to say
Even when I see your smile through the black and gray
I dive into lethal waters but no, too late
Where’s my strength, I’m to sink with you
Yelling, but no one to hear
Crying with everything to fear
Nearing the end, useless words will never reach
Just give me a reason to hold on
Even the things I knew life couldn’t take
Waking up with everything at stake
Nothing left to give, I lay on the ground, drained of light
If you’re smiling, I’ll force myself to grip
Grabbing your hand, praying my words will reach
Please just hold on, your desire’s opposite
Nothing I can do, crank the volume dial
Shove the words, force them to your tongue
Sound waves deflect molecules of sadness
Words make you cry, bring life to your eyes
I see the smile in the rain, breathing, live to save
Even the things I knew I couldn’t take
Waking up with everything at stake
Nothing left to give, I lay on the ground
Charged with desire
If you’re smiling, I’ll force myself to hang on
I saw the sky, it was mocking your tears
My thread was snapped, you were ripped at the seams
You wanted so badly to give up, it hurt
Yet still, my lilting rhythm came in streams
You had no strength, as did I
But no, I’d never let you die
So return your tears to the sky
There’s nothing left for you to cry
Tears slow, mine and yours
Chorus hits, life returns
You see now, death is not on your doorstep
So live, don’t just breathe, live
Even the things I knew you couldn’t take
Waking with everything at stake
Nothing left to get, I lay on the ground
If you’re living, I’ll force myself to hang on
Your shaking fingers feel the beat
Find the most intricate melodies in my music
Wrap your arms around the pulse of bass
I’m lost, but no matter, I’ve saved you
