Only Stillness
I wake to find you are not here.
I stir, I tremble, I open my eyes.
Only Stillness can bring you near.
I huddle in my nest of death, waiting for you to appear.
I am veiled in my lifeless guise,
And I wake to find you are not here.
You wait in the darkness. everything I hold dear
Is scattered across the distant sky.
Now only stillness can bring you near.
You cannot feel the tears
Falling over you, you cannot hear my cries.
I wake to find you are not here.
I'll follow without fear,
Though you left me the harder way to die.
Only stillness can bring you near.
I'll flee from the trembling lights, from the sudden noise I hear.
They'll find me in the shadows; in your darkness I'll forever lie.
I wake to find you are not here,
And only stillness can bring you near.
