Cloud Bastion

Some things are best left unsaid
but I think my eyes are playing tricks on me

tear me down
like an anchor
gift me all of your rancour
drown me in the deep
Tear me in two

there's an empire at the bottom of the ocean
bioluminescence lights moving in the black water
how I've finished here?
with salt water into my lungs
I'm so deeply afraid of the ocean
because is the only place where I feel at home
I'm sleepwalking with crossed arms
and nothing but water under my feet
tired of your pity, tired of breathing air
Tear me in two

stay

I'm fine only when I'm shaking and shivering
but I think my eyes are playing tricks on me
at least
this abyss is less empty than my bedroom at winter
tear me down in slow-motion
like twenty thousand anchors

stay

Architectures made of water
Meticulously vague
Where in the most secret rooms
Every man and woman builds a bell
Waiting for it to chime
We both sit silent
On either side of this cruel divide

stay

drop down castles in the sea
tear me down to the atmosphere
thirty thousand feet in the air
fill my lungs with the sound of a chime
What it's like not to be afraid this time?

stay

The Dark blankets the world in black
A thing of tranquility, a thing of serene
drop down bastions in the cloud sea
the ocean devours ships and their lots
while sky eats airplanes and my thoughts
Hope is a prison
we're all dead but nobody will tell us

stay
