The Embrace

Watching it crumble Might have eased the hurt Feeling it disappear Only made worse Pulling it piece by piece Slicing up ribbons could dismiss To slowly disintegrate Could have been the perfect gift May you feel this, while you sleep Push the poisonous thorns in you May you feel this while you wake Bear your poisonous thorns Walk into traffic Running with open knives Searching for mercy here That I'm too weak to find To take my deepest breath I walk into the raging sea To drown out this emptiness It's all you have left for me May you feel this, while you sleep Push the poisonous thorns in you May you feel this while you wake Bear your poisonous thorns I hope you feel this I hope that you can feel this As it's fading the darkness shifts (the darkness shifts) This may be the perfect gift May you feel this, while you sleep Push the poisonous thorns in you May you feel this while you wake Bear your poisonous thorns May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
