Insidious

If this is where I go when I'm dreaming,
Then it's no wonder I've got insomnia.
This is no haven.
This is no home.
I've been buried inside my head,
Trying to make sense of a place,
So familiar yet so strange.
None of this feels right,
So why does it appear,
To be the place that I call home?
If this is where I go when I'm dreaming,
Then it's no wonder I've got insomnia.
This is no haven.
This is no home.
(This feels insidious)
If this is where I go when I'm dreaming,
Then it's no wonder I've got insomnia.
This is no haven.
This is no home.
(But now the way back has long since worn away)
I'm not trying to convince you of anything else.
If you won't do it for me then do it for yourself.
Blow out the candles and come to bed,
Pull sheets over your head,
Like that sense of dread creeping in.
If this is where I go when I'm dreaming,
Then it's no wonder I've got insomnia.
This is no haven.
This is no home.
This is insidious.

Rust.
Decay.
Hold me down while you push me away.
All your fears have made you this way.
So watch me rust.
Watch me decay.
Little thoughts,
Unfounded in their origin,
Come creeping in (to your mind),
And come pouring out (of your mouth).
As the minutes roll by,
Like lines on the road,
All I can do (is brace for impact),
To soften the blow.
Rust.
Decay.
Hold me down while you push me away.
All your fears have made you this way.
So watch me rust.
Watch me decay.
These distress signals are fading,
Into a lonely vacant sky,
And I am swallowed by the night.
I'll be floating here forever,
Hated by my heart,
And forgotten in time.
Rust.
Decay.
Hold me down while you push me away.
All your fears have made you this way.
So watch me rust.
Watch me decay.
Rust.
Decay.
Hold me down while you push me away.
All your fears have made you this way.
So watch me rust.
Watch me decay.

You carried me,
You carried me in love.
So let me carry,
Carry you to rest.
I'm not always so formal,
But today I'll do my best.
Suit and tie,
Dressed to depress.
A final word.
A deep regret.
A solemn sight,
I won't forget.
A quiet voice,
From down the hall.
Pull the curtain.
Take it all away.
An everlasting sentiment,
Spoken through youth.
Comforting hands,
Holding things together,
As they collapse upon themselves.
Heavy shoulders.
Swollen eyes.
The fear of hearing last goodbyes.
You hid your tears,
Behind closed doors.
I shed enough,
For the both of us.
A carried flame.
A broken heart.
Staying strong,
Just to fall apart.

The words that I need,
Sit on the tip of my tongue,
Before slipping down and getting caught in my throat.
I'll choke,
And starve,
From all the things I should've said.
And my God,
How much more can I endure?
I'm crumbling,
Stress fractures,
Compromising.
How many times,
Can I passively endure,
The jeering of a crowd that's only seeing,
A manufactured monster?
A myth built out of lies and misdirection,
Dripping from the lips that turn around,
And reassure it's nothing.
Just a bad dream now.
Go back to sleep.
At some point I decided,
That having the worst of you,
Was better than not having you at all.
But now I've got nothing left of me.

Another cold and bitter winter.
Another year that you've been gone.
Trying to find the right words to bring you back,
But I guess so far all of mine have been wrong.
So here's to another moment;
May it not tear me apart.
I'll hold her up,
Where they laid you down.
You're always in our hearts.
So many reasons to keep going.
(Another cold and bitter winter)
So many reasons to hold on.
(Another year that you've been gone)
When it's hard to fight,
I know your spirit's still alive.
(It's still alive)
It breaks me down,
But keeps me strong.
(Even if the pain goes on.
There's not a second that goes by,
That you're not in my heart,
And each milestone you're missing from,
Will always leave a mark.
I often think about your voice,
And the things you've done for me;
I try so hard to do the same.
Winter's not kind to me anymore,
And it gets colder every year.
I can't stay wrapped in idle thoughts,
To quell my fears.
So many reasons to keep going.
(Another cold and bitter winter)
So many reasons to hold on.
(Another year that you've been gone)
When it's hard to fight,
I know your spirit's still alive.
(It's still alive)
It breaks me down,
But keeps me strong.
(Even if the pain goes on.
All of the memories,
Keeping you alive,
Hang heavy in the room like suicide.
And I cherish them all,
But I can't shake the cold.
And I don't think,
It will ever let me go.
Winter's not kind to me anymore,
And it gets colder every year.
I can't stay wrapped in idle thoughts,
To quell my fears.
So many reasons to keep going.
(Another cold and bitter winter)
So many reasons to hold on.
(Another year that you've been gone)
When it's hard to fight,
I know your spirit's still alive.
(It's still alive)
It breaks me down,
But keeps me strong.
(Even if the pain goes on.
When you left did I leave with you,
Or am I just stuck in idle?
