Dear Lover, - Deadships

Dear Lover

I’m writing these letters

I’m writing letters from war

It’s like my mind is taking in water

Still days away from shore

Dear Lover

Do you think my father will be proud of what I’ve done

Will my mother recognize the man I’ve become

Can I disguise what lies behind

Behind these eyes the gates of hell

Inside my mind my prison cell

I’ve lost control

Forfeit it all

I’ve surrendered to the darkest part of myself

Dear Sister

Oh, how I’ve missed you

I’ve been alone here for days

I can’t hear over the voices in my head

I think they’re here to stay

Behind these eyes the gates of hell

Inside my mind my prison cell

I’ve lost control

Forfeit it all

I’ve surrendered to the darkest part of myself

Dear Darkness

Can you feel me now

Did you do this to me

Or did I do this to myself

A dying son

Remembered for nothing

Loved by no one

Behind these eyes the gates of hell

Inside my mind my prison cell

I’ve lost all hope

I’ve sold my soul

I’ve surrendered to the darkest part of myself
