Long Shot - Cavity

Wait, was it something I said?
An inquiry left and overflowing the edge.
Wait, will you hear out my guess?
November was hard but the winter is so much worse.
So I will fly, I may not ever reach you so
gather in the gallows, hang me to die.
It's alright, if I gave this rope some slack
would you pull back in time?
My heart has a cavity, I bear the burden.
Tear me out when you're suffering, my teeth grew heavy
and fell from my mouth, swept onto the floor.
You'd stomp out the fire that's keeping us warm.
Keep the comfort around.
I walked home in the rain on my day of silence
and uttered not a word to the clouds.
Show me how, the wisdom only sought to me
when I closed my mouth.

Elated at the thought of summer still lay ahead.
The evergreens prolonged and they thrived at their best.
And everything was quiet in the simple life I'd chosen,
but a devilish complexion held its gaze and now I'm frozen.
And I will never understand what you are.
You tripped upon your reasoning, I know the signs you put in place.
The frequent cabin fever tends to fuck with your head.
You're snowed in with your elegance,
you said you'd try, you never did.
The weight of every specimen will threaten your limbs.
The trees will sway. I will never understand this
but it makes me feel less frantic.
But what could I put focus on? I'm guilty yet I offered none
intentional blame, the thought of it cuts deeper everyday.
On the side of that train, on the mountain you gave me
was more than I bargained to breathe.
I put a boundary on the rituals and rendered its existence
as more or less absurd.
But his tricks are getting heavier and harder to ignore.
If I should die, replace the symmetry that had tied me to this life.

Let me know when the sun is hanging low enough to hang my hat off from
I don't wanna miss it
Dragging my head behind me along the way
Trudging through flames
And it's been such a long day
Sitting at the bottom of an hourglass
Such a crushing weight
So show me something more to believe in
Filling in the empty space around me
I've wasted more time, more time than you think
Over here along the sidelines
With these unlaced shoes, just trying to see how far I've got
Til I'm face to face with all the choices I never made
Brought on by bad luck
Digging in my head like a shovel in the sand
Like a shovel in the sand
I keep waiting it out
Let myself settle in
I keep waiting it out
But for how long?
Cause I really thought I could
Just roll and tumble through the whens and wheres
From day to day
And that treeline could guide me to wherever I thought I could be
But the ups and downs, they drown me out (I was just left guessing)
And I'm right where I started again
If we're not ashes yet, is there still time for me?
Just let me know

There isn't a time or place for how quickly life can change
As I go on pretending like I don't know my own strength
But I know all too well
Voice shot, hood pulled over my head
Taking in that deep breath, waiting for the next thing to take it away
Or someone to breathe in and out with me
Will this be all I ever truly know?
Knuckles cracked and bruised
From beating at closed doors
Now where am I supposed to go
When its more like walking on nails
Than a quick walk home?
As a warm blur passes me by
I've gotten to know the monsters chasing me
They've become like old friends
Or maybe shadows playing their parts so well
But I gave it all I had in that last swing as I stumbled through the yard
On the walk home, did I give it all I had?
But I've been wrong before
Yeah, I've been wrong before
Yeah, I've been wrong before
Yeah, I've been wrong before
