Albatross

from The Solipsist Dream by Pathogenic

lyrics

melancholy is my cross to bear:
memorial fumes - poison sweet as honey.
we built our walls with reused tombs.
how did it come to this?
I won’t let this get the best of me,
it’s time to smother the flames.
you are just a fucking burden
and i will make my peace
taking pieces away.
we will make atonements,
puzzles in disrepair
pieced together on your shoulders.
so why must I be your atlas?
I would only let this world drop.
undo the albatrosses -
break this world into pieces.
you don’t mean a thing you ever say.
control dissolves like your breath
between the throttle of my grip.
I know you’re lying, it’s stale on your breath.
I know I’m losing touch
but no misery will touch me again... forever heartless.
you won’t scream when you can’t speak
and you won’t run because you’re weak.
don’t say a thing, do not apologize.
contusions crown your throat with unconsciousness.
blue lips surface, blood vessels shower your gaze
in an absent red wash; a dead cosmetic.
we will reconcile when your heart withdraws,
the paling of your skin, the vacancy of your dilated pupils.
making peace by taking pieces. you were just a burden.
no more lies. your eyes retrogress to the back of your head.
making peace by taking pieces.
