Foreign Bodies - Bastions

I’ve spent my life

Being screamed at

Courage give me heart

This time I’m screaming back

I want to close this door

I find it hard to do

To my future self

I’m sorry I failed you

Be still, be still

Every ounce of love I give, would never amount to bliss

Palm to palm, wrist to wrist, let me free of this

Casual lovers plead for acceptance and dabble in honesty

It lies at the bottom of a filled-in well, alone in misery

I see you

You vulture

I see you

Not welcome here

I’m loveless

So loveless

If you could be a better poison

With every cold and distant look

I’ll try to be a better person

A bleeding ocean your love

I’ve been drowning in your arms

Gladly drowning all these years

I wish I could let you go

But I still hold you close my dear
