bleeding out, calling your name

I won't forget you, I could never

always, but forever feels so thin

forever is the moment we were given

the time that we have left

I will cherish you for all of what you are

for all of what this is

a chance for compassion marked with every breath I take

I felt it trembling through my skin

and though it's rotted through my flesh

I promise for resilience, we were never meant to

hold my hand, no matter how far we sink

and never look away

no matter how far

no matter how far we sink

you were never meant to be

no matter how far

you were never meant to be afraid


no matter the silence, I will be with you wherever you are

though I cannot promise, I'll attempt everything to keep you from harm

until the light takes us

until the last drop of blood spill from your arms

I will be with you

I will be with you wherever you are


wherever you go, I swear I will follow

and if I die before you

I promise to guide you somewhere closer to home

oh, I wish that I knew

I wish I could tell you

where we will finally rest, and if we could ever say

we are safe, we're at ease, we are hope, we are love

I am free


how long will we have to wait, 'til we can finally escape

'til we abandon our bodies left to wallow in decay

and if our hearts can lead to god, why won't our bodies do the same

and if our hearts can lead to anyone, or any sacred place

I hope it's with you


I know that it's hard, and sometimes impossible it seems

but you have to get up

my love, you have to get

and I know that you're in pain, but there is meaning to this suffering

I like to think that life has it's reasonings

god is not a number, in death we are one


if we ever lose the privilege to speak

and our minds never wander out, and rot like the rest of our chemistry

if ever we lose sight of things we sought to be possible

I swear to you we'll meet again inside

of the ossuary



I'm glad we're alive

and I'm glad that we'll die

I'm glad that we me

before it all ends

and I will never forget, I will never forget

the way that you spoke to me

how comforting it was when I had nothing left to give

when it was difficult to breathe

when I was to sick to eat

and I was terrified of sleep

I will remember how terrified you were of me

and how lucky I was to wake up in love

to wake up at all

I'm glad we'll lose sleep

I'm glad we'll lose everything

for in our absence we'll gleam

in our absence we'll
