End Of An Ending - System Syn

Are you drawn to where the waters deepest

The veins of where my thoughts ran cold

The frozen current that should have marked the end

Was alive beneath the surface

But that wasn’t what you wanted afterall

Afterall, oh afterall these years

So I forgive you for your brevity of words

And the ice

That encases as long as you will always know

The truth

And I’ve told you many times before

That I can’t speak what I’m feeling

And through some words will crest the surface

They are only a distraction

From the knots that twist and coil

In my heart and in my lungs

Tying off my useless

Voice

And I’ll never learn to come clean

If the slightest truth destroys me

Once again, yes once again

I should have held my tongue

Once again I will close up

And retreat into the silence

Where the water’s warm and shallow

Where the sun shines off the surface

A mirage of my contentment

So just forget that for a moment

You caught a glimpse of who I was
