Dreadbound
You Win Again Gravity
I see
That slow decline
This pale phase
So inevitable
I see it at every corner
Black shape looming
Can you see the abyss?
With no words, broker no peace
Feel too much, too little
All I know is that these days
Every morning, I am dreadbound
Hoping for stasis
Desperate to make things stay the same
It's been coming
All my life
I can show you pain
But I can't show you any way through this
I stare at this abyss
It's a funny thing, this pain, so gradual
We wait outside
We brace ourselves
It's worse to hesitate like this
So paint on your smiles, let's get through this
I'm just a shadow
While everyone else is talking
They bring chairs
Discussing all our memories
And I play our songs
Surrounded by your medicine
And tomorrow we'll do it all again
Every morning, I am dreadbound
Hoping for stasis
Desperate to make things stay the same
It's been coming
All my life
I can show you pain
But I can't show you any way through this
I know
I'm dreadbound, so I watch
As he drifts away
