See in the dark

My coffin’s walls are made of glass
And I am tracing letters in the fog
Awoken and alive at last
But seconds do not last for very long

I can feel the glass
Cracking beneath my skin
Illusions cannot bleed
Without a life to give

Eyes open
We’re broken
But we haven’t died
Our souls are keeping us alive

Don’t let go
I don’t know
How to see in the dark
I’m anchored by a borrowed heart

Seven years of walking on air
Hasn’t killed the ghost between my bones
I am slipping away from here
But I do not know where else to go

Smoke and mirrors
Cannot conjure a breath
And you cannot protect
What is already dead

Eyes open
We’re broken
But we haven’t died
Our souls are keeping us alive

Don’t let go
I don’t know
How to see in the dark
I’m anchored by a borrowed heart

Suspended in between the lines
And trying to leave the pain behind
All the wounds have immortalized
Upon a corpse somehow alive

My vision is obscured again
But I’m more awake than I was then
Surfaced from the shadowed sea
You finally caught your grip on me

Eyes open
We’re broken
But we haven’t died
Our souls are keeping us alive

Don’t let go
I don’t know
How to see in the dark
I’m anchored by a borrowed heart
