If Only I Could Leave

I've lost all prospect In growth and progression I build these gallows to swallow me in Isolate my way It's what I need right now I speak in tongues but it makes sense to you Justify what's left But my fear fuels the flames A sense of salvation A vacant despair So when the shade cloaks again Let me live within the moment Searching for a fleeting image A temporary blithe And I have this Tendency to think that everything is fine I'm caught in a certain descent And there are no aspirations Everyday I face the same old sequence I can't breathe It's like I'm drowning in a sea My lungs are giving out But I'm trying to keep my composure When the skies darken and the arms of the ocean sway I think about the words stitched to my mind Perpetuate the indefinite Showering fabricated prospects with a glimpse of concrete certainty Until I feel the gentle warmth of the process Touching my heart Until there's no damage deep down I'm fine Breathing life into the lifeless soul Until the river recedes again Longing for a worthwhile sentiment Dissolve the qualm I'll find my way When the ember glows inside I'll forgive myself
