Paincaving

You played it backwards

Said, "Listen closely

That's the Devil saying just look back"

You never lay off your endless search of

How to cauterize an inside wound

I'm not gonna talk

We can sit here and listen

Nothing like a silence you don't need to break

Feeling something only makes you human

There's a beauty in the sound of a heart that's caving in

An open letter

To being tethered

I'm a sucker for the solid ground

And love, in some ways

Is just a rogue wave

The only way out is to swim right through

Heavy is the head wearing nothing but lonely

Something like a siren that's drowning you out

For all the bitterness that comes with living

There's a beauty in the sound of a heart that's caving in

Promise not to flinch when I wake you from dreaming

Nothing like a nightmare to ruin your day

And while you sit there in your quiet oblivion

There's a beauty in the sound of a heart that's caving

A solace that you found in a reincarnation

Sun is setting down on a heart that's caving in
