Odyssey

Outside the lake's a cataract It stares up at the sky Blind to the aftermath We all attend a nameless funeral You could say it's sad But reason has, to call it beautiful So I burn my clothes The ones I curse, when I'm alone And I trace the night An architect of shattered sky And all the things I fear Fade away with the coming year A resolution in the chaos That I made But I'm not weak My brain's a hurricane Of sky and sea Poseidon's set a broken Curse on me I'm not the one who bleeds With every odyssey Our new deceit's an old perfume It masks nostalgic times Forgotten crimes die in the fumes But polaroids still hang in darkened rooms The kids these days hold tight to each other in the womb And I shovel days Into the dirt and dust and fray And I keep the score of everything I have in store I got good at feeling pain Until no obstacles remained A resolution in the chaos that I have made But I'm not weak My brain's a hurricane Of sky and sea Poseidon's set a broken Curse on me I'm not the one who bleeds With every odyssey Feel the weight of cold Upon your shoulders, from the lake The words you drowned Leave a bitter taste inside your mouth Whatever you have sheathed Will throw itself against your teeth Until you have the guts to let it out But I'm not weak My brain's a hurricane Of sky and sea Poseidon's set a broken Curse on me I'm not the one who bleeds With every bruise that blooms on me But I'm not weak My brain's a hurricane Of sky and sea Poseidon's set a broken Curse on me I'm not the one who bleeds With every odyssey
