"I would if I couldn't"
by: Empty Moon

such a long never-ending train running through my head
it’s all the same just another day
there’s pouring rain running through my veins
so I’ll sit back watch it fade to black
with will all the things that I’ll never have
from a plane it looks like nothings left
just an empty bed
and black cement and dead leaves
on the fallen trees all we are is scattered seeds
inside the hives with the dying bees
she’ll say “please believe me!”
well I would if I couldn’t ever love again
I miss the ocean my oldest friend
now you can’t remember anything you did
or everything you said
what does forever mean who cares
when you’re falling down the stairs
thought I was dead you said I woke up scared
in a hall of mirrors with a hollow stare
I can hardly tell that I’m hardly here
can you hear these bells ringing in my ears
she’ll say “please answer me!”
everyone was invited but nobody came
she has this problem with lying about everything
now we’re down on the carpet looking for her ring
she said that she dropped it with a smile and a wink
we can tell she's been crying which isn’t surprising
said it was her great great grandfathers from 1863
and that he died in the raid that brought our town to it’s knees
and she whispered so softly “these dreams must mean something”
you mean the one where I’m falling from the sky to the sea
or the one where I’m floating over my own body
our eyes never stop growing so whys it so hard to see
exactly where we are going stop falling asleep
hey priest, man you're cut deep
what do we do now
the others went for help
I wish that I knew how
