To Carry My Grief Through Torpor And Silence – Allegaeon
By
The weight that looms above me fills this arid chasm to the brim A dread that overwhelms me designs the lines wherein shapes Of distant, strange and often wasted memories That bear no meaning steal my presence of mind
Through the trees and this tangle of weeds that is leading me deeper Desperately into a dream where the reaches of fever and sickness of mind can’t find me I come to my feet and careening, screaming into the empty Looking for something, for anything other than me to carry my grief
My tongue is laced with blades of ire To scrape away this taste Left by tears and rain and ashes and waste The faceless coward within me glowers Taking and giving out misery
Through the trees and this tangle of weeds that is leading me deeper Desperately into a dream where the reaches of fever and sickness of mind can’t find me I come to my feet and careening, screaming into the empty Looking for something, for anything other than me to carry my grief away My endless grief
Save me someone please I cannot bear to carry any of this pain anymore My aching body screams, fading and wasting away Save me someone please
My tongue is laced with blades of ire Condemning me to my descent
Through the trees and this tangle of weeds that is leading me deeper Desperately into a dream where the reaches of fever and sickness of mind can’t find me I come to my feet and careening, screaming into the empty Looking for something, for anything other than me to carry my grief away
Nothing on the wayside left to waste Eating all of my fears in empty days, away
Take me further from safety for everyone Take me further away Left to waste
