Pour some honey in my poison
Or the other way around
Something to flood my veins with sweetness
While my heart is falling down

It’s feels like every breath I take
Is laced with strands of barbed wire
It feels like every smile I fake
Let’s loose a smidgen of desire

Take me from this purgatory
I am lost in the abyss
You know I’d make for a better story
If I didn’t look like this

Blood is dripping from my eyelids
Tears are flowing down my wrists
It took all my life to realize
There was something in my chest

I’m trying so hard to feel joy
Feel the fire, feel the peace
It feels harder when I’m losing
My hopes and dreams, piece by piece

I can feel the sands of time
Coarsely scraping on my skin
Maybe they’ll grind me to dust
Justice for all of my sins

It’s my humanity I think
Bringing me down to my knees
Pouring in you through this ink
In through honest words like these

Treat me as if I’m long dead
But think of me so full of life
As a long gone memory
As the man who made the world his wife

Can’t keep my eyes open for long
Now I only hear my breath
Seems the honey curled my lips to smile
Now I’ll gladly welcome dea………
