I was sewn into the stories of the parts that they gave me
Both broken and cherished by moments that made me
And I really thought I was the heart of the monster
It turned out I was a victim whose heart was a hostage
In the lonely light of death I could only be conquered
By the depths of futile striving and electricity’s water
But I was wrong
I was the scalpel
Sharp and long
And very agile
Like a song
Without a chapel
Like a bomb
Without its shrapnel
Like the comings and goings of thread in your skin
If I stitched you together I could summon life in
I could reach for the stars and in doing reach for you
I thought I heard you whisper that you reached for life too
But I was wrong
I was the lighting
Sleek and strong
I saw you dying
Like a song
Without its crying
You were lost
I had to fight it
I think I was the madman who brought dreams in fragments
Made a scrapbook of life I can’t even make sense of
Or maybe I was the table just holding your corpse
Unwilling to let go even though there’s no hope
But I was wrong
I was the monster
Strung along
And left to wander
Like a song
Without a concert
Like a bomb
Without its slaughter
I was the beckon of death in your broken hearted seams
Waiting for your return to the promise of peace

How long will minutes slither through my veins and
Why am I surprised?
Each cell lives lifetimes in a single moment
While I catch up to time
Stop throwing coins inside my hell
This is a grave, not a wishing well
Stop throwing coins inside my hell
This is a grave, not a wishing well
Sometimes I keep secrets: vile, egregious
I keep them from myself
Wisdom is wasted on the ones enlightened
I’m wasted in hell
I’m nothing but a traveler with broken legs
Don’t ask so much from me
Life itself is wasted on those who are living
I can’t even breathe
Stop throwing coins inside my hell
This is a grave, not a wishing well
Stop throwing coins inside my hell
This is a grave, not a wishing well
Vile, egregious
Hide your secrets
Vile, egregious
Hide your secrets
