lyrics

I return to when it happened, I see the damage done
Chest plagued by panic, breathe and burn
I remember hearing sirens, the soundtrack to the day
And a mockingbird’s melody somewhere far away
But now our hands, clasped, find no fracture
No distance ‘tween our lips
There’s sanctuary found in your vermillion kiss.
In this bed we lay together, I’m redeemed of my past failure
Closer than the asphalt held you when I couldn’t.
But I swear I was there, I saw the way you hurt
The way you looked so fragile while the angels did their work
But I blink and it’s just you and me and moonlight from the window
You called for me by name, I hear the quiet echo
Hallway after hallway, room after room
It’s here you finally see me and memories connect
I wish just one would leave me
I hope you never see the thing that makes me
Shut my eyes and grit my teeth.
An image is returned to me every day.
Will the red forever hold the reflection of my face?
I wish it wouldn’t.
Still, this scene is so familiar
Lips stained crimson crashing soft
Our breath becomes mosaic
Our voices are a song
To be whispered with the sweetest tongue
To resonate against the walls and windows
That grow brighter with the brand new sun
We are awake when this day becomes the next,
But your eyes are growing heavy
You lay your head upon my chest.
And it’s in this perfect moment
I think I catch a glimpse of Heaven while you sleep.

Sleep now under bones that house angels.
