Return To Sender

the sky is paler, your is voice fainter

than ever before

below, the pitch gray of winter

is all I see anymore

the flood is rising,

my feet are slipping

the waves are crashing

and my arms are thrashing

have you left me here to drown?

hope is suffocating on reality
and choking on failure

who left me to sink
with all this weight?my chains feel like
they carry the weight of the world

I slammed the door with
furious swings of violence

demanding an answer but
hearing nothing but deafening silence

my soul is weary of the man that carries it

I have these scars
to prove your neglect

I'd rather go blind

than stare straight into the mirror
