The Sound of Letting Go

You preach to the deafened

Your voices speak to no one

Your droning drowns in its own decay

You failed your lessons by mimicking the echoes

That cry for you to find your own way

You have defied them

This is everything that you deserve

Know the horror of the wrong you've earned

When you're the helplessness you sing about, only I can save you

So I hold in every breath

Until the air in me begs to forget that it ever found peace in my lungs

And it screams up my throat to my tongue

It forms the words that end this all

The moment beckoning to fall

With a wind bellowed deep from my chest

At last I've begun the collapse

I tremble with the sound of letting go

The wretched ring of everything I had in me

My heart unfurled, I exorcise the silence from this world

This is everything that you deserve

This is everything that you deserve

This is everything that you deserve

(This is what you've forgotten

This is what you've forgotten)

This is everything

(This is what you've forgotten)
