Motionless

Choking words, we're aching
Can you sleep through burning waves?
This time we break

Closing in, we're breathing life
Star-infused, we're nearly light
This time we break

This time we know it all, but we'll fake a little better
One day these lights will fade,
but we'll fake a little better than you

Melted cloaks into the flesh
A dagger's charm - motionless
This time we break

This time we know it all, but we'll fake a little better
One day these lights will fade,
but we'll fake a little better than you

I've crawled - and this I swear
I know the skies dark words
And the twist of the ocean's blood

Running through these poems
Stumbling in these scars
We're falling - slow
