elissa

The Crüxshadows

Voicing back from frozen moments
The aching words I never spoke
Alone now in this cold abstraction
The sounds of yesterday transpose
And every pause within my conscience
I sadly offer up to you
So I must go before I falter
Before this longing skews the truth

And as I push against the waves
Know my heart is broken too
And though I travel far away
Part of me is with you still
And if it was my choice to make
Elissa... I would stay with you
But tomorrow isn't mine to see
And there's something I must do
And if it was my life to live
Elissa... I would never leave
I made a promise long ago
And now you must believe
That no matter where I travel
I can only love you more
Whatever course life takes
I can only love you more

I see your shadow like a ghost
Silent and away
Apologies make emptiness
The things I want to say
And this guilt it must be mine alone
But the fire's distant glow
Is broken to a choice unmade
Though I want you, though I need you

And as I push against the waves
Know my heart is broken too
And though I travel far away
Aeneas lives inside of you

Strange light between the blinds
Dimly slipping paper thin
Whispers in my head simply
Some new understanding

Everyone has a purpose
Hidden within our lives
Something we were meant to do
Or fee before we die
