An Apology (Acoustic)

This is what

I know The canopy loss of our home

Is a far cry while

I'm away.Tethered to finding a rope

We walk in precarious ways.

And go alone at night

To Misery's bed.

In Misery's bed we stay.

Here in the tremble and pulse

With the rush and the weight of the world.

I am a cannibal known

Begging the lashes to break.

You find me awake in a dream

A scream in the dark so it seems.

Or is that just how it leaves

The shadow

I cast now the breeze.

So this is how it goes

With the loss of our canopy home.

That falls with the leaves from the trees

As we pass.

And I wasn't there in the last

But I was surely there from the first.

Here in my chest where you burst

I keep the crush

And the weight of the world.

So far away
