Requiem Lyrics by ISLEOFDOGS

GOOD GRIEF

2019

[Verse 1]
Swimming to resurface from the bottom
All the time i've lost
Hurting myself
For failing what i thought i owned
Take me from it all
Take me from it all
From it all
[Verse 2]
Tearing myself to dream
As the night climbs in and the sun goes slowly
I’ve been holding my breath in for too long
My heart collapsed
Into a cotton pillow all wet
From everything I dreamt for us to be
Bring me out of these walls
Bring me out of my head
For one night
While I hold my confessions and hurts away
And the liquid drops flows into the cotton of my head
Soaking up all of my hate
Towards the shadows
I will never amount to what I always wanted
I will never be closer to you
[Bridge]
Closer to you
Closer, to you
Closer, to you
Closer
I will never be closer, to you
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Try to be more present
Auto piloting through life
Fly in these skies to escape from the bottom
Barefeet, run across
The lake has dried and the pure is swallowed
Deeply, a hole
Sitting inside my stomach
Make it go away
So to make me stay
[Chorus]
I've been waiting here for you
In the dark
I've been waiting here for you
In the dark
I’ve been waiting here for you
In the dark
I've been waiting here for you
In the dark
[Verse 4]
Some nights I dreamt of a different place
A light
Away from these walls of limbo
Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud the death of Man
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
Take a step forward
Closer into the unknown
Who knows
Maybe you'll be there with me
As the flowers bloom for one last time
And the new moon rises
[Verse 5]
I'll come along with the shining light
I'll look as the newly born bird
Leaving the old to the growth in the earth
I can’t stop you both from blossoming
The flowers you adored were pink
Mine were all busted and blue
I need a place to hide
Breathe in my air for your last time
Before I have to go
[Chorus]
I’ve been waiting here for you
In the dark
I've been waiting here for you
In the dark
I’ve been waiting here for you
In the dark
I've been waiting here for you
In the dark
