R.E.M.ember
| I know the game you played that night, the game of prove your love to me. Dutifully I helped and hurt and held you in words of nervous comfort. Desparately and fearfully we'd played the game before, I would con-soul you into living on to face the day. But, that night, I let go for fear of holding on, I let go to find myself. You poured your fears into me, They made me strong. Strong enough to let you go I went on to face the day Goodbye mommy Mother goodbye  She devours me and fills me with void Come to me with your dark embrace Take me tattered and torn Leave my shattered and shorn Wake me with the spinning tide Break my from the measures that guide My lips tremble at the edge of a thought My tongue trips on the phonics unspent What can I say of the dance of death A mockery of life The void snatches at the edging of the night keeping and leaving life has ebbed Pushing against the film of reality My eyes blurred from the pressure of this membrane My sight as clear as a raw open wound I AM ALIVE |
