Catalyst
February 1, 2011
Slash my wrist, let the rain fall
Open the doors and usher the tide
Hold your breath
And say goodbye
It’s promise of tomorrow
With the words of today
Their broken hymn
For a broken day
Words echo deep in the bone
Light cascading from the open window
It falls on empty ears
As they cut down the weeping willow
Forget the future was paved in blood
Forget that in the end they lost love
Hold on to what they swear is true
Hold on, but they own you
