She hid me away from the sober smiles
The soundless tones of sedated choirs
A decade of blacked out faces and she -
Had to feed her ghosts
Crowding the hallways devoid of love and -
You -
Gave me monthly kisses
Laying me down with the sleepless spirits
You only cared for the broken trinkets
In my hands -
And the ones I live with
I know you wished
I was made of paper
So you -
Could burn the words that made me hate her
But I loved her I wish I could miss her but I -
Can only sleep for so long
When this house of the dead
Are singing that song
That you wrote -
For me when I would cry
And the spell wore off at the end of the night
Momma -
You've seen me die
In your arms hearing that lie
That you'd stop
Hurting your heart
But it's just you
And I
Sitting apart
Awake and asleep
Because
This is who we are
