Glimmer from Bitter by Split Silk

I am the ghost that glimmers in light
my velvet cage covers everything

I am the virtues, the ones you left behind
in search of the truth, the colors we would find

See the years pass by without another
scene of dying regret
another broken cage
feel my pleading embrace
I glimmer in spite of the chase

To mourn
I want to see a hand in mine,
a tender expression without the drive
the gross machine
the weeds that lie

I am the castle
the one in the distance
guiding you home
through the indifference

entombed halves
under glass slides
away from the burning tides
the vicious gaze
of their eyes

See the years pass by without another
scene of dying regret
my skin’s desire to crave
when are you going to accept
my soul, from the chase
I wanna know your face.
