Moddi - Poetry lyrics
[Moddi - Poetry lyrics]
In transparent ink
Tie myself to the mast and wait
Here for the ship to sink
Though I know I've set sail on a wishing well
The daylight is dimming out slowly
With every breath I take
Gasps of air become roaring
Rivers keeping me awake
It gives me no time to think things through
I know words always come before you do
But, I can't find no poetry
Left in these lines
I've been trying too hard, too long
Too many times is this what a biochemist
Would call happiness?
Is it part of some unmade promise
I thought I could forget?
Is it time that I let some air come through?
For now strangeling love is all I can do
Yeah, I know you have mountains
Of poems in mind
All explaining how all wounds
Will heal given time
But these days are no longer my time to spill
And I know that by waiting
I'll make them stand still
I kept it as close as I
Could through those winter nights
But the ropes only tighten round me
As I tried to fight
There's no worth throwing stone
In a wishing well now I'm out of black ink
And true tales to tell
And I know it's all poetry
Know they're just lies
But, I'll still scavenge on what I
Find in between those lines
I'll pretend there was happiness
Fake to have felt pain
Just to feel there's a reason
To read it again
Just to feel there's a reason
To read it again
