Paradise

Your paradise was never in the afterlife

Your paradise was mine

These floral words that meet decay

As open arms wither away

Against the breeze I am weightless

I felt you breathing but I couldn’t stop you fading

And now it haunts with a constant projection

This house of glass now casts no reflection

But I’m losing track of the days that pass

It comes at me from all directions

We all suffer the same

We all suffer the pain

Release me

I bathe in waves of absence

In a sea of misery

Are we led to the grave

Are we destined to fade

In sickness

Your paradise was mine

Lost in dreams of elysian

With nothing left to alleviate

Even in death, i feel your presence

Now imprinted in the fibres of my being

And now it haunts with a constant projection

In the stillness of a fading impression

Held in broken glass, nothing’s built to last

It comes at me from all directions

I’m broken, feeling worthless, breathe

Suffer, through this, absence, alone

Save me
