As if I could bring down the moon To crater the dust I was sheltered in I built a haven from brittle wood Crafted from the splinters of my ruptured youth I am forever compelled to carry my wounds on my frail limbs As an heirloom and as a gift to bury me with I am eternally compelled to limp away from the home I know Like an animal dying and keeping my death a secret from you Let the blade gash at my skin My blood will stain the places I have lived Your blood runs thick The curse of a family name Surrounded by the love I call my home I dream of my funeral Embrace my wilted soul after death No love will be lost
