I will show you fear in a handful of dust
The pieces
At least then
You will know the truth
But I'll be here when loss confounds you
To gesture
A way out
Picking up
The pieces of your life

Don't ever fall behind
Just because it's easier
Don't ever lose your place
Or throw it all away
And blinding white light so harsh
And feeling as though you'll faint
When you tell me that
If something comes from nothing
Doesn't make it nothing
And when all your smoke and veils fail
I am with you
And never leaving

I can tell we're heading towards the apex
Or the end
And either way
It will be fine
But I know you've been fearful of tomorrow
For all you know
Tomorrow it will be too late

Dead souls
Ascending
In our white sepulchral city
Church on a hill
A fall from grace
The collective memory of
Our waking dream and
Falling fast and
Falling faster
The current swells me to
Complete disaster and
Hulking

Needing
And palming for something
And oh you know
What you need
What do you
Want to see
What I could give you
It seizes me but
Don't move me and
To build and build
And form and build
And you'll tear it down

Don't ever fall behind
You and your sinister mind
Don't ever lose your place
Forever do it all again
For though I will try
I will never understand
This consequence of mine
Or the fortune of pretend
When all I want is
A semblance of a grace
But oh my love
What memory has erased
