iii. twilight in the reflection of dreams

Say the word
An offering
In the snow, I left my heart to bleed
Like golden twilight reflecting in dreams

Forever lost
Treading ocean
A body frozen to the bone
As night goes on
I'm growing colder
The dark I wander alone

I can't wait for the absence of echoes
I won't stay for the onset of waves
I can't feel what's real

Sacrament
Or sacrilege
Ebb and flowing out to fill the streets
Beneath the twilight reflecting in dreams

Where I belong
A safe enclosure
It's inching closer to love
I swim for shore, the undulate tide as I wash away

Into thin air
Empty the oceans
Into thin air
I can't wait for the absence of echoes
Silence outlives the earth
Drag me out to the edge of the waves
Into thin air
Promise you here

I can't wait for the absence of echoes
I won't stay for the onset of waves
I can't feel what's real

I can't wait for the absence of echoes
Drag me out to the edge of the waves
I can feel it's real
I can feel I've healed
