Do I Have Eyes Still

And I dread the day

They take me away

Held tight to my heart

As I dissipate

Dig my nails deep

Through my eyes

Nostalgia fractures bleeding hearts

Where'd I go

Will these words fail

To mean a thing to burdened ears

In seconds a thousand thoughts pulse through

My frail mind

Rocking back and forth

Humming to my nerves

Close your eyes dear

Kiss me goodbye

Every passing thought

Steals me from you

How much can I bare

Were we ever really here

Bare witness

How long will you watch me fucking burn

And at the end of this rope

Fell in love with the entropy

Maybe I just took too much

Pull the veil from all your eyes

How can I ever be real

Stare as I unravel myself

Dared god to strike me down

I guess I'll reap what I've sown

I'm bound

How long?

How

How long?

Bound in time

Where my lungs collapse

Paralyzed in fear

Escape from me

How long must this dream drag on?

How will I know that I've parted this Earth?

I've parted this

How long must this dream drag on?

How will I know that I've parted this Earth?
