Hiraeth

Maybe you were the poison all along
Not the antidote you said you had become
Because my tongue tastes sour and I need your love
You were a sip of cherry wine from a crystal cup

Pirouettes around the roof
You didn't realize
One wrong step and you would fall
Could I even say I was surprised?

Roaming through my thoughts
You own them all
You didn't recognize mortality
Now I'm veiled at your funeral

Felt comfort in your thunderstorms
But it never crossed my mind that we could drown
Every home I never had I found in your arms
Raindrops fell from your eyes
I looked up to the clouds

Made a mockery of me when you disappeared
Pleaded to the holy but they couldn't hear
Disintegrated my beliefs with their acid tears
Begging for relief relinquished from my fears
Fell victim to their thunderstorms
It's almost like they wanted me to drown
They stole the place I once called home
And as the water swallowed me I couldn't make a sound

Placate all my fury
Leave a fallen definition of your love
You filled my bones up with your empty promises
You pulled from up above

Come on in I'm already raw
I can barely breathe
For your soul is wild
But white little pills they give me what I need

You've clipped my wings
No longer here to fight
You'll come and go and the spinning will slow tonight

Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

My thoughts deconstructed on the floor
I wonder would you pick them up or would you break them more?
'Cause the puzzle's missing pieces I hate who I've become
Your tongue inside my mouth Spit me out like bitter rum

Wicked things those thunderstorms
Come out of nowhere and expect you just to drown
I'm unhinged and untethered from my home
The sole cause of it all I'm just a puddle on the ground

Maybe I was the poison all along
Not the antidote that I once swore I was
