Odyssey

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
