in withering sleep (i-iii) - rapt lyrics
today i am a dust cloud settling
on an opiate breeze
you found me turning blue
and shaking like a thief in a noose
a shadow on our skin
lay hidden from view
how was i to know
her hair would hang disheveled, strewn around
hallways and empty rooms
in flesh the road it twists and turns
in flesh we gather truth
today you bring the ashes back
through backstreets we knew
so put me on the mantel
and i’ll keep watching you
here on the mantelpiece
way up high
i hear no sound and my nights
have all merged with my days
through the living room
my thoughts play on loop
for half our lives we watched the fl!ckering lights
though all things pass
and turn to dust
i for one never pictured a fleeting gasp
here amongst the photographs yellowing
a fading reverie
never did the things i said i’d do
for i only adjusted to running
never did the things i wanted to
for i was just afraid of sinking
today i am a dust cloud settling
tomorrow i’ll be gone
lost amongst a dream
in withering sleep
come back to me in love
in simmering touch
i’m lost amongst a dream
in withering sleep
come back to me my love
in simmering touch
i’m lost amongst a dream
in withering sleep
how was i to know
