Social Repose - The Maw

Tell me
What happened when we stopped being young
Skin cracked up, brittle bones
Do we wither into dust?

I must know where I stand
I held your hand
For half my life
Am I half the man I used to be?

Cause you did more than just stay with me
I stare down them all
Would you understand when I fade away
That it took every part of me to stay
I wanted to stay

Listen to the sound of my voice
You are strong
You never needed me to go on
It was a choice you made

Now keep your promise
Live your life with no regret
And accept that I've left
I will leave you with this warmth

That you held the day we met
I still can't feel you now

Quiet days, endless nights
Her thoughts have never really been so black and white
She stays well composed for now
A distinct lack of color as she lays nearly comatose
In her dreams we will meet again
I swear we will meet again
My darling...

Arms stretched wide looking down
A flicker tiptoes through the dark
Patience wearing thin
Waiting for a full story arc
She stares down the maw

Would you understand
That when she fades away
That it took every part of her to say
I tried to stay

Listen to the sound of his voice
You're strong
You never needed him to go on
It was a choice you made

Now keep your promise

Live your life with no regret
And accept that he's left
He will leave you with this warmth
That you held the day you met
He still can feel you now

Listen to the sound of his voice
You're strong
You never needed him to go on
It was a choice you made
Now keep your promise

Live your life with no regret
And accept that he's left
He will leave you with this warmth
That you held the day you met
He still can feel you now
