You pray for distance I never change Buried it behind the brightness built like poison in you My palm against you Your ever-anxious days Buried it behind the brightness built like poison in you And it causes you to shake In the shape of my mistakes Buried it behind the brightness built like poison in you My palm against your forehead Your ever-anxious days I felt afraid and ashamed that I felt anything at all I felt your panicking, your shattering, your catastrophic fall And if I felt long gone, already so far gone Already anxious, you're shaking up, you're breaking down I failed you all along My pen encrypts your own pain, stills that poison in you I'm pleading for forgiveness now, I failed so many times Come, please, now with your own pain and your ever-anxious mind You plea to break your chain on our ever-changing life To be buried from behind The darkness hides that brightest light My hand against you, your ever-anxious mind Will be buried in behind the poison spills That pen, it brings back image in my mind Of that nightstand by your bedside And the sharp edge you would swing to strike Would break my hand instead How you clattered all day rhythmic on that fixture on the wall Where I caught your silver cabbage moth Your powdered lust still lingers in my palm I was building landmarks for my heirs in your scars I was in the wrong to start I was building landmarks for my heirs in your scars I was in the wrong I felt your pain I felt my hand shake hard I felt afraid and ashamed that I felt anything at all I felt your panicking, your shattering, your catastrophic fall And if I felt long gone I said your name out loud Already anxious, I broke it all, I'll fix it all I failed you all along My hands buried all the bad news My hands, never get it back My hands buried all the bad news My hands, never get it back
