Every Word You'll Never Speak

Stranded from the sky
With longing nerves and empty promises
And the threads of wishful theories, I am tied
Deep beneath the surface, your memory plagues me
Though I'd accepted your abandonment
I had expected more time to breathe

So break me out of this cell I'm in, and give me a place to hide
From the chaos that you've conjured in the far corners of my mind
My fortification festers, leaving me defenceless to your disdain
A disease that disassembles me every time I hear your name

Shelter me from the searing silence, and every word you'll never speak
Your indirect infection has left me irritably weak
I justify my dissimulation; some things are better kept within
But I can't help the fissures forming
On what remains of my once thick skin

Your presence binds my thoughts like a chain
The links resembling letters forging phrases you'll never say
I taste the iron of your fist ruling over me
My teeth stained red, I deny my vexation escape

Stranded from the sky
Your anguine tongue unfit to comply with
Clauses implied by the sanguine shade of mine
I am constricted in my conflicted state of mind
To expose my neck or accept that I've been left behind

That I've been left behind
I am constricted in my conflicted state of mind
With longing nerves and empty promises
And the threads of wishful theories, I am tied
With wishful theories, I am tied

So bring me out of this hell I'm in, and give me a place to hide
From the chaos that you've conjured in the far corners of my mind
My fortification festers, leaving me defenceless to your disdain
A disease that disassembles me every time I hear your name

Shelter me from the searing silence, and every word you'll never speak
Your indirect infection has left me irritably weak
I justify my dissimulation; some things are better kept within
But I can't help the fissures forming
On what remains of my once thick skin
