The Mouth of the Canyon

Open the gates

I'm early

Ready the sages worthy

Fraught from the cave

Sick from the charade

Stumbled from cave to the mountain

Left my hangover in the river

Bridal veil that seemed to call

Parked forever

Paved to the upper falls

Where I let go

I just closed my eyes

And let go

Heavy, my bones

Will they carry

This weight from

This ledge where you left me

Our smoke feeds the breath of the canyon

On my knees, mouth full of cavities

Where I let go

I just closed my eyes

And I let go

No need to pretend that I'll ever forget

I doubt you will let me

I don't need to hide from the places I've been

The mouth of the canyon calls me home

I swore I would take care of myself

Was I lying?

Before I begged to feel anything at all

Now, at least, I feel alone

Open the gates

I'm early

Ready the sages worthy

Fraught from the cave

I'm sick from the charade

Never let it go

I just closed my eyes

And I let go

No need to pretend that I'll ever forget

I doubt you will let me

I don't need to hide from the places I've been

The mouth of the canyon

I swore I would take care of myself

Was I lying?

Before I begged to feel anything at all

Now, at least, I feel alone

(Never forget you)

No need to pretend

I doubt you will let me

I don't need to hide from the places I've been

The mouth of the canyon

I swore I would take care of myself

Was I lying?

Before I begged to feel anything at all

Now, at least, I feel alone

At least, I feel alone

At least I feel…
