An Apology (Acoustic)

This is what

I know,The canopy loss of our home

Is a far cry, while

I'm away.Tethered to finding a rope,

We walk in precarious ways.

And go alone at night

To Misery's bed.

In Misery's bed, we stay.

So far away---------------

Here in the tremble and pulse,

With the rush and the weight of the world.

I am a cannibal, known,

Begging the lashes to break.

You find me awake in a dream,

A scream in the dark, so it seems.

Or is that just how it leaves?

The shadow

I cast now the breeze.

So far away--------------

So this is how it goes,

With the loss of our canopy home.

That falls with the leaves from the trees,

As we pass.

And I wasn't there in the last,

But I was surely there from the first.

Here, in my chest where you burst,

I keep the crush

And the weight of the world.

So far away
