Purgatory Grey

Lockdown wasn't at the root but it didn't help
Converting the rooms in our residence to prison cells
Is this hell? This resentment isn't sitting well
Old selfie pictures begin to melt 'til cinders fell
Our dwellings fell back to bricks and mortar
'Til I consider weekend visitations with my daughter
With my son... My love this is torture
We can't see the reefs for the oil spills in this water
So alone, stuck at home with our baggage and
I hate the way you have it zipped, you hate the way I handle it
I call you passionless, you call me apathetic
Bereft of direction, what a mess... call the paramedics
I smell death, In the calm of that hard smash
Silence is a fatal sound, approaching any car that's crashed
After the fact it's hard to retract
Those heated words that have charred what we have

Are we already dead?
Haunting what's left?
Purgatory Grey
Nothing more to say...

Ghosts don't know how to move on
We echo what was from beyond
This is not where we're from
How soon we forget how love died
We hide it but blood doesn't lie
It dries like the tears from our eyes

12 Years of building blocks meticulously placed
Unveil as the walls of a debilitating maze
Wondering for days, doesn't feel like a phase
It feels like you're drifting away
Time erodes everything, even when you're settled in
Heads above water, rust on your wedding ring
Measuring our happiness with Instagram stencilling
Suffocating standards, standing on that mezzanine
Treasure can't gleam when it's kept in your chest
We became parents and shed what was left
A cold rain wept and we hardly slept
On separate sides of that same mardy bed
I'm marked with an ex, map to the skeleton
The burial grounds of our happy ending
Perching on an afterlife of memories
Rehearsing last goodbyes and trembling
But we owe it to our past, owe to our children
Owe it to the road to that home we've been building
Let's show our feelings, suffer through the bloody cuffs
If it's true it's worth it sometimes love is tough
We cried under those Christmas lights
But unified to get this right
And if we fight, fight for what we built inside
I can't love without you in this life

Are we already dead?
Haunting what's left?
Purgatory Grey
Nothing more to say...

Ghosts don't know how to move on
We echo what was from beyond
This is not where we're from
How soon we forget how love died
We hide it but blood doesn't lie
It dries like the tears from our eyes

Embrace this fallen sky
Face the calling light
Set flames to that morgue then fly
For the sake of all we've climbed
