Carved in Stone

A blurred image in my mind
Etched into remains
Of a love you always burned away
The static on the screen
Fades falls into decay
Through the smoke
I still see your face

I see through the surface
Above the iron
Facing a pillar of light
I stand, released from what I know
This cell I call my home
Seeking my own truth

Carved in stone
Carved in stone

The color in the grey
Bleeds through the frame
Tearing at my body
Collecting all the hate
Harnessing the grief
Flowing through my veins

I see your spirit rise
Carried by regret
Reflected in my eyes
I see your silhouette

I see your spirit rise
Into more than you ever were
Cast in glass above the earth
Finding peace within the hurt

Cast in glass over the earth
You shatter and emerge
Far above the earth
Over all the wreckage surrounding
I will learn to reciprocate

The love you burned away
