Fade, Break, Heal
March 25, 2016
Fade
I sell my soul for a smile
Wear it high so they won't see
The pain inside that's faded me.
Break
I let your fingers lock with mine
Glanced down at us only to find
Your strength was what had broken me.
Heal
I glance up at a lonely sky
Lose myself where lost boys fly
A final drop leads me to see
Even eternity fails at healing me.
