Discordants

Look how it burns inside my hands
Illuminated, shattered plans
Drag me through the broken glass and dirt behind
A hopelessness I kept inside
Keeping silent time
The lifesick hearts at the end of their line
Fade into the dark just like a long lost dream
Do you ever feel this isn't what it seems

You're a ghost inside my bones
Just burn out the candles and leave on your own
Tearing through the walls that scream inside my home
I've lost myself to you, yet I'm alone
Fixating on escape is all I've ever known now
There's nothing left for me to bleed
You're caving in and burning right through me

But look, isn't it lovely how
When the shadows grow heavy
We hear the silence so strangely
In the dying light
I saw a reflection but it wasn't mine
And now I'm terrified of what I might find
Spirits making homes out of my mind

You're a ghost inside my bones
Just burn out the candles and leave on your own
Tearing through the walls that scream inside my home
I've lost myself to you, yet I'm alone
Fixating on escape is all I've ever known now
There's nothing left for me to bleed
You're caving in and burning right through me

I'm making up monsters
I'd rather stay here than go
But the weight in my blood says
It's not worth the hope
I don't mean to keep you waiting
I'm just moving so slow
This weight, always with me
And I cannot
I cannot let go

Fatigue, it says
And points a finger at my chest
It's closing in
Touches my throat and stops my breath
