Outside the lake's a cataract
It stares up at the sky
blind to the aftermath
We all attend a nameless funeral
You could say it's sad, but reason has to call it beautiful
So I burn my clothes
the ones I curse when I'm alone
and I trace the night
an architect of shattered sky
and all the things I fear
fade away with the coming year
A resolution in the chaos
that I made
but I'm not weak
my brain's a hurricane
Of sky and sea
Poseidon's set a broken
curse on me
I'm not the one who bleeds
with every odyssey
Our new deceit's an old perfume
It masks nostalgic times
forgotten crimes die in the fumes
But polaroids still hang in darkened rooms
The kids these days hold tight to each other in the womb
and I shovel days into the dirt and dust and fray
and I keep the score of everything I have in store
I got good at feeling pain
until no obstacles remained
A resolution in the chaos that I have made
But I'm not weak
my brain's a hurricane
Of sky and sea
Poseidon's set a broken
Curse on me
I'm not the one who bleeds
with every odyssey
Feel the weight of cold upon your shoulders
from the lake
The words you drowned leave a bitter taste inside your mouth
Whatever you have sheathed
will throw itself against your teeth
until you have the guts to let it out
but I'm not weak
my brain's a hurricane
Of sky and sea
Poseidon's set a broken
curse on me
I'm not the one who bleeds
with every bruise that blooms on me
But I'm not weak
my brain's a hurricane
Of sky and sea
Poseidon's set a broken
curse on me
I'm not the one who bleeds
with every odyssey
