I Wish I Was

Strings of your death tied to your breath

All that's been seen cannot be unseen

Unless

Deeper you fall, the places you crawl

To find you're unclean, unsaved, defeated

By self and no one else, my love

Tongue tied, obsessed, mesmerized

I acquiesce and step into the machine again

Don't breathe, don't tell, my belle, listen

Deep in the garden, I wait for you now

Under the weight of the leaves

That do bend on the bough

Come save me
