CompassThe weight came and went and took my will to liveSpoiled by defeat, forced to drown in what's left of me That's when breathing became routine And I could feel myself fading I am stranded No direction I am a compass Constantly spinning Constantly spinning Constantly searching for the end Never reaching our destination But the goal was never when or where or who... It was only you I appeared in your arms as if I had been born there You promised you'd never let me go But I don't know what I believe anymore What I believe anymore Affection allowed me to let the light in The fear made me whole again Help me rebuild my broken bones Help me regain my sanity But with caution always present Our pasts manifest themselves And we act as if this is what we deserve But I refuse to fail again I'd force my ghost to write your name In the flowers on my grave I watched the world give up on me I used to spend my nights praying for air in my bloodstream Now I long to feel your breath pass throughout my arteries The goal was never when or where or who... It was only you I appeared in your arms as if I had been born there You promised you'd never let me go But I don't know what I believe anymore What I believe anymore Fill me with your faith and let me leave I'm scratching at my skin To take my mind off the absence we've created The lines blur together like the veins in my arms And I wish I wasn't so alone You're the difference between hell and home |
