Crater

To watch the curtain fall

Within an inch of the call

A thousand reasons not one to divulge

The sting of all that was

You medicate so willingly

As we endure the fall

To normalcy

You’re far beyond the underlying forces

Slight in a way untrue, wait

Where’s the worth in holding on

When the rope to which you cling has cut you off

Now it’s not the same

Though I dream awakening to my

Wasted days harboring

The sorrows of a promise set to flames

So why do we grieve

Lying to, we’re lying to

We lie ourselves to sleep

They force what lives out of all

What you turn away

You turn away

You’re far beyond the underlying forces

Slight in a way untrue, wait

Where’s the worth in holding on

When the rope to which you cling has cut you off

You turn away

You turn away

Who told you to wait for me?

Who told you to wait?

Who told you to wait for me?

You turn away (who told you to wait for me?)

You turn away
