Cutthroat Collapse

Cutthroat Collapse

TIME RUNS OUT

Those words seemed so sincere

And I've been so lonely here

I find myself lost in escape

Marked by hands I held as my anchor

But in your shallow sea I drown

I can still hear the trees

At my back and haunting me.

Unafraid, unaffected,

This has all gone so wrong.

Under this December sky,

I walked away compromised,

Counting steps, of what's left

To bring this all to an end

Outside you will find the ring

that once belonged to me

Sharing space with her face

Pictures on the drivers seat

So now we we will both kill the messenger

It's such a blur

You didn't even see

This meant everything to me

Invisible, plans you made

Deconstruct me

Tethered to the dream of you

But disappearing

If it's grey then

Just leave it

Some colors start bleeding

So guard yourself

That's what my folks used to say

Defended your secrets

Claiming past loves and regrets

The ambition was hidden

To shield yourself from the blame

Outside you will find the ring

that once belonged to me

Sharing space with her face

Pictures on the drivers seat

Your failing words once moved heaven and earth

But now they can't make me believe

Invisible, plans you made

Deconstruct me

Tethered to the dream of you

But disappearing

Those words seemed so sincere,

In this shallow sea I drown.

You want to run and hide to catch your breath

This can't be happening

But why don't you come inside

and capture all that's left

This can't be happening

Capture all that's left

I don't want to wait for this

A ruined list, the longing kiss

Making all the moments last

As if we had, the sentiment

Yearning for the sound

Breaking from the crowd

Leaving all the cynics

Racing for the finish

Time runs Time runs

Time runs time runs out

If I should die

If I should.
