Hematopia

I don’t recognize my life
Who is this soul so weak and paralyzed
Cold claws raking up & down my spine
I’m never alone, but I’m lonely all the time
This is where it ends, within the empty dark
I’ll set myself aflame, resurrected
By the spark
I may be broken
But I won’t fall to pieces
Lonesome & corrosive
The weakness of your secrets
I won’t die like I’ve done many times before
I’m gonna run
From the wounds
Of war
When the moon casts shadows long across my wall
I’ll pretend they are my friends & I’ve known
Them all along
I’ll sit and pretend I’m not waiting on your call
When the phone finally rings
My courage will dissolve
And I will run to you
I will run right back to you
