We hide behind lovers We make believe I can't carry on I can't breathe You lay between the sheets that she made This is not your home This is not your home You take me from my dreams I pretend to sleep I feel you watching me I feel you judging me A broken man, at his end And still you dream of her As she crawls of the bed She sheds her clothes like a snake As the snake sheds her sin She crawls inside again I feel her nails up my thighs I glance down at her smile And i wonder how It ever got this far How it ever got this far I'm weaving from the shadows

Waiting On cobblestones outside Waving at apparitions There's no one there I'll walk the path at the pace you set And wipe the tears that fall And hum the songs that carry you on Those same melancholy tunes that we all bleed But my feet won't stay under me And all the air keeps fleeing And my courage gone It only takes one step It only takes one breathe Door opens in protest Weather worn and swollen to the frame As light pierces darkness the vermin retreat to the walls Look to the leaves as the wind blows them in See them dance across the floor The percussion of branches the song birds who sing The leaves they're still dancing ….Elsa….. Will i forget his face? As i walk across the fugue Will his voice be familiar? You disesteem his memory You disesteem your love You disesteem your love Do i read through the journals you left behind? Did you know how much i cared? Will i read that you resented me? The brother who wasn't there The brother who wasn't there Of all the portraits and tomes Strewn about the room Of all the portraits and tomes Strewn about the room A single boon We were teenage boys with smiles the world won't touch Your likeness graces no bust In temple halls and homes Or cemetery stones There are no ballads wrote, or sonnets sung Your song is in the leaves, ill carve you in the trees

I tried to make this home And hang up the memories (tried to) hang onto life But i am not alive I am flesh to stone A stoic heart An empty vessel A fading spark Before you I was always holding back I was always dreading the coming days I was always hating now I was always looking down There's so many walls to keep you away From everything i feel for you To give the love i never knew away To never be alive Only to exist Until a razor meets your wrist Until you're hanging from The rafters right above Right above the room Where i first kissed your lips Oh tonight She'll cover up the sky this night With a cloak of stars Won't you love me back to life Or the grave?

A will so sovereign A mind fixed Fixated on the end of this The endless toil Day in and day out A lover in my bed She says "a love like ours would burn the world" She says "i love you" then i turn And i hear voices in the wind And runaway again Their will so sovereign Their minds fixed Fixated on the end of this Cause i can't sleep In this house that we once shared In a life i cannot bear There was color in these halls once But the grey has settled in Cause your shadow casts standard that ill never fucking be This life wasn't meant for me I'm the animated echo of a fading memory My will is sovereign My mind fixed Fixated on the end of this Three feet of rope To choke the life from me The lantern falls onto the floor And now this house will surely burn And i will get the death that i have earned Among the Gray Waste now On the Astral Sea Grey horizons soar As far as i can see No gods to come claim me No whispers on my heart To the wall i go I forgot his face Forgot his voice I forgot my love I forgot my choice

The Herald 05:06
She makes her way through revered crowds Like blades through silk Like flames through fields Her beauty was a feast to famined mouths Colors carved upon her skin like flowers Set upon a corpse Her eyes moved through me Like an affliction through a child My eyes chased the shape of her form Committing every curve to memory Then i realize red Then i realize red Casting stares Casting stares Ground silver into dust Protect me from your lust tonight Sweet oils Snakes tongue Charm me to your bed tonight Casting stares You wear the shackles of captive matrimony Upon your brow I want to set you free And turn your love loose To ravage me

about

We want to tell you a story about the desperation of human nature. The Grieving is the first of many chronicles of two fictional characters as they tightly cling onto a perception of happiness, while their reality spirals out of control.
