Memorare - The Crüxshadows

slipping between us, the ghost & the mourning

prayers spent finding, a reason to stay

painful and aching, the balance is breaking

with so many words, I don’t know what to say…

our planets break orbit like paper and water

delicate dancing on the edge of her lips

something unsettled, and something remembered

something forgiven, keeps silent with-in

and she turns to me with tears in her eyes

as if she doesn’t see the tempest inside

and our hearts are beating, but no-one is breathing

a small thing I think, so close to the end

The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my own

and something sacred, it could be dying — I know, and I stare with headlights

now approaching

blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here

inside I’m reaching, inside i’m pleading, I can’t be losing everything…

that I remember…

oh, Memorare

oh, Memorare

Kisses left longing, somewhere behind us asking for comfort, like cats in-between

and this new regretting, how foolish the choices

that once seemed so meaningful, sturdy, & sane.

our seconds of silence, last half of forever-

searching for glimpses that lovers embraced

how close and how distant, we stand to each other

knowing that nothing, can ever be replaced

The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my edge

and something sacred, moments reflecting — I know, and I stare with headlights

now approaching

blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here

inside I’m reaching, inside i’m pleading, I can’t be losing everything…

that I remember…

oh, Memorare

oh, Memorare

The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my edge

and something sacred, moments reflecting — I know, and I stare with headlights

now approaching

blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here

inside I’m reaching, inside i’m pleading, I can’t be losing everything…
