Translusence

In a moment's notice
Everything turned to black
Your eyes darker than midnight
No way to bring it back
Where are those precious moments
Why did we resort to war
Your teeth break my skin in anguish
Bled dry to the core

Walk with me
Just shake it off now
And talk to me
We're not far off
To find ourselves again

Ignite me
Break the silence
And fight me
So through the violence
We'll find ourselves again
Leave me
Can't shake it off now
Silence me
We're so far gone now
Burn me
Leave me in silence
Forfeit me
Caught in the violence
We'll never find ourselves again

Your brightness casts shadows
A darkness too dense to revert
Our depths feel so shallow
Obscuring all joy and hurt
Translucence
I only shine through the light you divert

My body breaks under the burden
Your hate burns like solar flares
A great and expanding darkness
Where I remain forever unaware
As I am Atlas, so you will be Aether
Unreachable, unbearable
The weight on my shoulders

It's crushing me
It's crushing me
It's crushing me
It's crushing me
