Grief Beggar - Bastions

My love you’ve spoilt my needs

I’ve been stepping on these egg shells, you’ve been stepping on my throat

I left myself open to these wolves, organs exposed

My tendons kept us sewn as one

I hold her one last time before I leave this place

With the knowledge that she is unaware of what’s happened

It’s a pity to see you leave, but I’m keeping the best of me

The fearful always talk, always talk

You’re a layer of sadness that won’t go away

You’re a half hidden home of death and I won’t come up alive

Your passage was a lung

Knowing it will never last

Crossing out your name

Just moments of joy

God I hate the way I am around you

With bitter words I plead, hold me

We had our time together

Missed you more than I could bear

With a glad heart I had to let you go

Closing off the past, dreaming as I go

These things that unified us, caused us so much pain
