A Dying Vine
Joshua Thomas Middleton
Give in to endless deceit
Skeletal face
Crooked mouth
I once felt the life in you
Through clenched hands ripped apart
Eternally out of reach
A separation
A dying vine
Death was but a dream
But how quickly dreams become reality
Denied
Drained of all belief
Planting a seed of weakness within
When there's nothing left to bleed
It will start again
Is there no end?
Never awaken from this dream
Denied
Souls upon souls
No way to transcend
Eternal gloom
If this is truly life then make it end
Nothing can turn back time
Nothing, nothing can keep you alive
Wherever you are
Know I will carry this always
A reminder of pain
I know I'll see your ghost again
I still feel those cold silences
Broken by your footsteps
Nothing can turn back time
Nothing, nothing can keep you alive
