ENOUGH

You and I will never have to go through this again,

We watch it all crumble to the sea.

We count the colours in your head,

Which one is he?

And some illusions break

While some cling to the lie;

Some are purged by the ache,

Then something dies.

All this time you waste crawling back in;

The hardest thing to shatter,

Willingness to give.

You and I don't need this safety net,

We’ve got our feel flat on the ground.

We count the colours in your head,

You think one is me?

The harder you try to push

The more you see the smile;

Some are cleansed through the pain,

Then something dies.

All this time you waste crawling back in;

The hardest thing to shatter,

Willingness to give.

The greed gets cold, and the teeth start to bite;

The easiest thing to smother,

My only light

I settle into you in every wrong way;

Blinkered and poisoned, clinging to the day.

Watching from a distance, see you hiding in the grey;

Under lock and key, put the selfishness away.

All this time you waste crawling back in;

The hardest thing to shatter,

Willingness to give.

But you and I will never sift through this again,

We can wait to believe.

We can count the colours in your head,

Which one is she?

And some illusions break

While some cling to the cry;

Some are purged by the pain,

Then something survives.
