Every Grief

There is strength in my loneliness
And mine is the empty throne
And as I walk these frozen steps
I know I chose this on my own

But what if on my own means alone
And individual means abandoned
I'm floating here like a ghost
Open the window and let me go!

I just want to leave
Fly away where nothing drags me down
Please don't come with me
'Cause you can't be around
When the walls are caving in
When silence speaks and my stomach turns to stone
How could you be with someone's who's alone

Now my nightmares repeat themselves
And reveal the demons underneath (underneath)
They're my only company
And they're feeding on my every grief

And so I breathe in, and breathe out
I try and see what this life's about
I contemplate the weight
Of nothingness and emptiness

So I breathe in, and breathe out
I try and see what this life's about
Crushing me with spastic dreams
Breathe in, breathe out
May I love, accept, and let go
Love, accept, and let go

I just want to leave
Fly away where nothing drags me down
Please don't come with me
'Cause you can't be around
When the walls are caving in
When silence speaks and my stomach turns to stone
How could you be with someone's who's alone

I just want to leave
Fly away where nothing drags me down
Please don't come with me
'Cause you can't be around
When the walls are caving in
When silence speaks and my stomach turns to stone
How could you be with someone's who's alone
