Aspire (feat. Brandon Whalen)

Weathered hands cling tight to the essence of my delicate skin Turn out the light, a lullaby, persevere 'til the darkness ends Hold my hands through this until your knuckles have blanched white I learned from you but followed through like ships passed in the night I'm running from myself again barefoot on broken glass In solitude, the hatred grew, and I could not look back Perspective from the pavement brought me closer to the Earth I took flight on those restless nights Intoxicate, gravitate to the moonlit brights "Sleep tight my love" While the rhythm of our beating hearts align frozen in time I slept through the night But the cosmic arms that caused me harm eclipsed my guiding light Drift off to sleep, she weeps, as trepidation creeps (come back to me) Dig up the bones, the remnants of our fractured colony Flash of lightning struck me down yet again The coldest darkness washes over me If I radiate your body until it's gone I want to feel more vindicated when I see you disappear When I see you re-imagined right here in your perfect form You've got the fire left to be reborn Into a picture perfect reflection of me A reflection of me All I feel is winter I've fallen in your eyes, you feed the flame inside All I feel is winter I've fallen in your eyes Oh, they grow, the branches of my soul Into my dreams, it seems, I'm somewhere in between Feeling the grief, relief, my own mortality I've fallen in your eyes but you still feed the flame in me "Sleep tight my love" While the rhythm of our beating hearts align frozen in time I slept through the night But the cosmic arms that caused me harm eclipsed my guiding light Drift off to sleep, she weeps, as trepidation creeps (come back to me) Dig up the bones, the remnants of our fractured colony Breathe Smile and I'll see beyond the trees
