Chrysalis

About this track
Lyrics: Across the vast and empty heavens, A ghost moon weeps for every rhyme I wrote while chasing fleeting seconds That beckon from the edge of time. Entire oceans turn to dust, And blot the sun as I engrave Decaying clouds infused with rust That drift above my shallow grave. I lay your ashes on the floor, And leave before you ask me why, I stood outside your bedroom door, When I entombed our final sky. I see you now, oh, wilting flower, Your severed wings were left to rot, As dusk erodes you by the hour, You claim to be what you are not. A silent thread begins to fray Within the cracks of all we knew, I paint the night in shades of gray, And bleed a brighter part of you. I lay your ashes on the floor, And leave before you ask me why, I stood outside your bedroom door, When I entombed our final sky. I'm flowing through distorted spaces, I'm turning into specks of sand, I'm haunted by forgotten faces, But I no longer find your hand. Why won't you help me understand? Why won't you help me understand? Why won't you help me understand? Shattered skyline, (I'm standing on the precipice) In this timeline, (I hide inside my chrysalis) Why do you always ask for more of me? I lay your ashes on the floor, And leave before you ask me why, I stood outside your bedroom door, When I entombed our final sky.
