The Wound Lyrics

I waited on your words
Not knowing they’d shatter
As they passed through your lips
Like any other words you’d say
They re-arranged themselves
On the flowers that you lay
They hit me in the throat
And I was lost for words to say

Time heals all wounds, or so they say…

I wait for the death of the garden in which we lay
I lament and regret as I watch you fade
I take this last breath in this sorrows cold decay
I weigh this regret as I begin to fray

Your eyes cut like sharp stone
Digging deeper to white bone
I lay here bound and cold
In a monotone fatigue
I strain to raise my eyes
Beneath the weight of your shadow
Your insistent shimmering gaze
No longer seems to shine

Time heals all wounds, or so they say…

I wait for the death of the garden in which we lay
I lament and regret as I watch you fade
I take this last breath in this sorrows cold decay
I weigh this regret as I begin to fray

You leave me suffocated, you leave me Isolated
You leave me desecrated, you leave me terminated

This blackness rises before me like a wall
My mind reaches beyond, frantic as I fall

I’ll keep waiting now, but I know you’re not here
It still weighs me down, will it disappear?

I wait for the death of the garden in which we lay
I lament and regret as I watch you fade
I take this last breath in this sorrows cold decay
I weigh this regret as I begin to fray

As your words etch themselves in the wound,
I become an afterthought…
