LayYouToRest

No words could ever describe the feeling. The feeling of holding onto your ghost. But if there’s just one more thing I could ask of you.
Just one more request.
Please don’t ever forget me.
No, don’t you ever forget.
Everyday it’s getting harder just to turn the page.
I keep replaying and reciting those mistakes you made.

And I’m trying to take my own advice. That things will change.
That things will change.
But whom am I kidding?
I’m so afraid.
That things will change. That things will change.

I want you to know how it feels to be in love with the ghost that bears your name. Know that my love was not in vain.

“Blue And The Grey”

Dear sky,
Dear sky don’t cry for me, (cry for me)
Be the hope I could never reach
Cold sea,
Please don’t let me sink, (don’t let me sink)
Wrap your arms around me and carry me home

I stood at the shore and spoke to the ocean
I stood in the water and let my guts spill
I said “You and me, we’re not so different, I see my reflection in all that you do”

We both keep our secrets
We’re both, oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know that yours is too

I sat on the rooftop and screamed at the sky
I sat on the edge until I knew deep inside, Like the sky, I will always be empty
The horizon, my love, forever just out of reach

We both keep our secrets
We’re both, oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness I know that yours is too

Distance was born when the sea and the sky grew apart
Loneliness was born the day I let you go

I let you go!

So now I stand at the shore and speak to the ocean
I stand in the water and let, let my guts spill
Let my guts spill!

We both keep our secrets
We’re both, oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness I know,
I know that yours is too

Dear sky,
Dear sky don’t cry for me, be the hope I could never reach
Cold sea, please don’t let me sink
Wrap your arms around me and carry me home

Dear Sky!

“The River”

Follow your heart to the water Fill your pockets with stone Throw your arms around me Never let me go

You were the first, you wouldn’t be the last
What the river took, we could never replace
And as the pain set in so did the realisation
You were never coming home
For nights we lay awake
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope
And if love could change the course of fate
These nights, we move mountains
But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us
Shook us to the core
Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts

Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me Never let me go

It’s not the years in your life, it’s the life in your years

Old soul, so it’s said
The day we lost is the day I found regret Not in the waters that embraced you
But in the wake your absence left

Sink into me

Hold out your hands, sink into me
Hold out your hands, I’ll take you away Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world

Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me Never let me go

Never let me go
